After an extensive global tour as the lead singer for The Wailers, a critically acclaimed major label album release, and features on major motion picture soundtracks, ELAN (Elan Atias) has established his unparalleled organic musical talents. Now with the release of his second solo album We Are, ELAN is back on the road and back in the public eye. This album was produced, written, and recorded over the past year, and demonstrates ELAN’s amazingly personal and artistic connection to his music. The entire album is acoustic and stripped down to genuinely showcase his voice paired with upbeat melodies that promote a ‘one love’ feel.
ELAN’s melodic title track “We Are” is rooted in his belief of bringing people together with uplifting music. Allowing people to forget their daily clutter of things that prevent us from giving unconditional love to one another and the theme of ‘everybody treating everybody as family’ is what “We Are” is meant to project.
“I believe no one just listens to one style of music. So We Are drifted to a style that was inspiring from other artists that influenced me over the past couple years. It’s raw singer songwriter, roots, happy, fun pop music with a tinge of reggae that everyone can relate to in one way or the other.” - ELAN
In addition to the Wailers, ELAN has collaborated with some of the most notable names in music; including Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Carlos Santana, Kenny Chesney, Sly & Robbie, Cutty Ranks, and many more. Most recently ELAN wrapped a tour down the California coast with premier reggae band Katchafire and American singer/songwriter sensation Trevor Hall, which included a benefit concert with Matisyahu and the Zadik Band to benefit students who are in need.
