Bio
Elias Manuel was born in London, Ontario Canada. At the young age of 13 his musical talent started to unfold as he discovered his ability to beat box and create melodies and mixes using one instrument, a mic. Dancing and learning the songs to Michael Jackson are some of his early memories of music. As he grew, the musical talent inside him expanded as well. Beat boxing was the beginning of more to come. Elias started working with local artists and came up with some of his greatest hits like "Day I Die" and "Meant 4 Me". His songs and lyrics quickly touched those who listened to them. With 10 years in the making, Elias has grown as an artist and individual. His music not only shows his talent, but experiences in life. His honesty and personality are what attract his fans and his music. He has touched the lives of many across the world.
In April 2008 Elias graduated from Fanshawe College with a degree in Graphic Design. Music will always be Elias’ passion and goal in life, but as we all have learned, life is not always easy and without an education there we have nothing to fall back on.
Knowing that if he wanted to get anywhere, he had to make the steps himself, Elias started with creating his own label called eliasMusic. eliasMusic is liscensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Canada License, therefore making his music available to anyone to use and mix. Elias’ reasoning…”I want everyone to enjoy my music in every way possible!”
The album ‘Risking It All’ was self produced, written, engineered and arranged by Elias. Many hours went into the making of the album, but the finished product is exactly what Elias had imagined. His goal now is to make the album available for anyone to download and listen to, hoping to reach 10 million people world wide! Elias will set up the option for donations to help in the creating of his next album. One dream Elias has always had is to help those who are less fortunate. As his album grows, so will his ability to reach more people and raise awareness about important issues in this world.
Elias’ final message to everyone upon the release of his album…”I want my fans to listen and enjoy my album, because without them none of this would have been possible!”
