ELAI SKEL MIRACLE RIDE

About Me

Elai began singing at age four and by eleven was singing professionally. His young career began with various talent groups in theatre-style and he has performed in hundreds of shows and benefit concerts at forums such as the Lincoln Center and the Pasadena Civic Auditorium with Rock Theatre (Directed by Greg Holford). At 16, Elai's talents expanded to playing guitar. The combination of being a dedicated, self-taught musician grouped with his experiences and exposure to other bands inspired him to pursue songwriting and guitar skills. Opportunities included being on the same stages as world renowned performers such as Three Dog Night, Dionne Warwick and Niel Diamond, to name a few.

Recording has also played a major part in his career, as well as session work for other artists. While expanding on his solo work, the main road of his musical journey, he has written over one hundred fifty songs, 12 of them on his original CD.
Today his repertoire is categorized as expansive with regards to his range, skill and style as a singer, songwriter, guitarist and performer. Although Elai's music can be described as retro-groove or high desert rock, he masterfully mixes in rock, country, pop, and folk. Many fans say that this, together with the influences of the 60's and 70's make this sound timeless, with hooks appealing to all generations and a positive universal message for today's market. Elai offers "crossover" appeal.
