A Rising Star with an Old-School Soul

Elliot’s breakthrough hit, “I Think They Call This Love,” showcases his gift for storytelling and melody. Opening with the swoon-worthy lyrics, “They say you know when you know / So let’s face it, you had me at ‘Hello,’” the track oozes romantic charm over a backdrop of malt shop swagger. Before its official release in July, the song had already garnered over 10 million views on social media. It went on to achieve over 10 million streams in its first month, climbing Spotify’s Viral charts in 27 countries and peaking at #14 on the Global Viral 50.

A Modern Star with a Vintage Edge

While Elliot’s music echoes the past, his rise to fame is a testament to modern platforms. With over 4.7 million followers and hundreds of millions of views across social media, he’s built a global fan base through authentic and captivating content. Whether he’s singing oldies while making coffee, cleaning counters, or playing his iconic pink guitar, Elliot’s kindness and genuine love for his craft shine through.

His journey began as a teenager busking in Bury’s town center, drawing crowds with his velveteen voice and vintage aesthetic. Following a heartfelt fundraising performance in the wake of the 2017 Manchester tragedy, where he raised over £2,000 in a single day, Elliot realized the profound impact his music could have on people. Since then, he has continued to hone his craft, earning widespread acclaim and signing with Interscope/Island EMI to create a highly anticipated repertoire of original music.
