As an artist you need to hustle, pioneer and most of all take chances, being an artist is all about seizing opportunities that come to you and seeing success where there might be failure. When the news dropped that Elan Lea a South African born, vocalist and song writer was featured one Tiesto’s latest album we acknowledged that was a massive achievement for any artist.
Since bursting onto the music scene at only 17 with his first hit single, Elan has become a multi genre writer, singer and solo artist. Elan has his own unique sound that is a mix of pop, rock and soul and now electronic music. Elan met and collaborated with the late and legendary member of the Bee Gees, Robin Gibb from then on he has never looked back. Performances billed alongside the likes of Craig David, countless TV shows, radio airplays, interviews, radio chart positions, press clippings and studio sessions all make part of the artist that Elan Lea is today. Having toured the U.S. 2012 and entering U.S national charts for the first time Elan has been steadily growing and master his craft.
His track “Calling On Angels” which features on Tiesto’s new album “A Town Called Paradise“ was originally recorded with Elan’s producer and friend Mark Crew. who has produced for global sensation Bastille. Soon after recording the track Elan moved to Los Angeles and met up with Maurizio Irko Sera who agreed to add his magic to the track. It was then that the track was discovered by Tiesto and French house producerFred Falke, the two work closely with together, it was there that Tiesto got the chance to add his signature sound to the song.
