Elliot.wavs has been playing piano since he was tall enough to reach the keys. He studied Guitar in the University of North Texas' brutally competitive Jazz program until a hand injury threw his entire future into question. Elliot.wavs switched instruments, finishing his degree as a vocalist, and graduating with a B.A. in music. Moments like these have always provided fodder for Elliot.wavs' songwriting, which tackles big emotions with brutal honesty and radical self love. The song, "twenty five" is an unvarnished look at the fear and isolation of losing a loved one during the pandemic, while "I'm Not Scared Now" offers an anthemic refrain for anyone who has ever been made to feel small. Elliot.wavs' 2023 EP, "i'm not scared now" is a vocal tour de force and a bold debut, mixed by Stuart Sullivan, the engineer who built Willie Nelson's Arlyn Studio and recorded Sublime's Multi-Platinum, "Sublime". The EP features performances from Austin legends Brannen Temple, 3x grammy winning drummer for Gary Clark Jr. and Red Young, organist for Dolly Parton. Elliot.wavs has also worked as a sideman, recording and touring with acts such as Brett Hunter (The Voice, 2018), Calliope Musicals (Best Band - Austin Chronicle, 2016), and Honey Made (Best Live Band, Austin Fit Magazine 2022, 2023)
