Elliah Heifetz is a first-generation American folk singer. Born to Soviet refugees living on food stamps, Heifetz learned to channel his experiences through poetry and music, studying literature at Yale. His debut EP "New Folk Songs" met high praise ("Reminds me of truly classic folkies like Dylan and Seeger. We don’t throw that around much, so when we do it the sound is deserving. Heifetz is the genuine article." - EarToTheGround"), and his songs were listed in TIDAL's Best of 2018 Rising Folk/Country. He also composes music for theatre and writes pop songs.
