About Elias
Birmingham to Italy to the world.
I left Birmingham at eighteen for Southern Methodist University and made my professional debut in Italy at nineteen. The world became my classroom, and music became my way to create change.

The journey
Every stage shaped the sound.
I left Birmingham at eighteen for Southern Methodist University and made my professional debut in Italy at nineteen. From there I built a career that has taken me to every continent except Antarctica, more than fifty countries and over a hundred cities. I have sung in more than twenty international opera productions, played Simba in Disney's The Lion King in Hong Kong, and performed in Motown the Musical on the West End.
I created Vox Fortura, a classical crossover vocal group, and we were semi-finalists on Britain's Got Talent. Classical Soul is where all of it comes together, and it is growing into a global movement.
Through my nonprofit Vox Academy, I pair music education with financial literacy. It is another way I use music to create change.
