Elijah Ensor is a talented musician and storyteller who uses his guitar, beats, and lyrics to put his raw emotions on display. Those emotions resonate with everyone who hears him! Elijah tells the story of going to his first concert: Jason Mraz. He was enthralled with the way Jason used his guitar and kept the audience captivated in every moment. Combine that with the excitement and energy of Bruno Mars, and Elijah knew his calling was to create moments and connect with the crowd on stage. Growing up as a military brat, Elijah moved every two years for the first part of his life. Eventually, his family settled in Maryland. It was here, after a tough game at the age of 12, that Elijah’s grandfather gave him a piece of advice: “No matter what the score is, you ALWAYS GIVE YOUR BEST EFFORT.” His grandfather passed suddenly and unexpectedly early the next morning. Around Eli’s neck, you’ll see his Poppy’s ring worn as a reminder to go after what he wants with his BEST EFFORT. Elijah’s family moved to Atlanta, GA the following year to help him put those words into action.
Elijah is not only a musician but also an athlete and champion for his community. He was a nationally ranked lacrosse player who played at The Ohio State. He also had put on an annual benefit concert and collected over 1600 Christmas toys for the children of Mary Hall Freedom House. He’s was involved in a non-profit organization called Notes for Notes. They have a state-of-the-art recording studio at the Boys and Girls Club of Atlanta, where Eli gave songwriting and guitar lessons.
Elijah Ensor is currently working on his debut EP and has collaborated with some of the best writers and producers in the industry. Elijah has worked with award-winning producer and writer duo P2J and Ari Pensmith, Tre Ace, and Courtlin Jabrae, to name a few. Under the tutelage of vocal coach Mama Jan, he learned what it takes to command his vocals and to show up ready for every opportunity. Elijah has performed across the country, most notably opening for Dani Leigh in Columbus, Ohio. Each record speaks to what it is to be young and trying to find yourself. With R&B influences, smooth tones, and poignant lyrics, his smile will grab you, and his music will keep you captivated. Elijah brings an energy and vibe all his own to the world... You’ll see!
