Music – Columbus

Born in Germany and raised in Columbus Ohio, Elijah Banks grew up between two musical realms: the vibrant and soulful atmospheres of R&B and the gritty influences of Hip Hop; helping him craft his unique sound. When not in Ohio, his other years were spent soaking up the dark trap illustrations and baselines of Atlanta, Georgia. With his timeless sonic skills, deft arrangements and songwriting abilities, he has landed in the Ohio spotlight, garnering critical acclaim from outlets such as Fly Paper Magazine, RAW and Prime Social Group. Since 2009, Elijah has constantly crafted his sound and continues to do so well into his early adulthood. Since then, he has released his first album, “Progress, Not Perfection” (August 2018), leaning into a wide array of sounds and styles, conveying various emotions and topics, and remaining true to his R&B core. Elijah is known for his humble attitude, passionate dedication and commitment to music, which is an immense quality no matter what genre or platform.
