It takes just three seconds for Elias’s debut single Revolution to leave an indelible impression. That voice emerges from out of the ether: tender yet possessing an evident power, it builds into a powerful crescendo which exudes the passion of soul. It’s a vocal you’d expect from someone whose talents had been seasoned by decades of performance and heartache.

Yet a second surprise is soon forthcoming, for Elias is just 19-years-old.

Thematically it’s a classic protest song. “Revolution is about the beauty of breaking up something you don’t believe in and instead doing something the way that you want to,” he explains. “It’s not an angry song, it’s more about the excitement of being able to make a brand new start.”
