East of Eli at the Troubadour Featuring Chyler Leigh

INTERVIEW: East of Eli—Vents Magazine

“I would have to say the album is rooted in my personal experiences over the past 3 – 5 years of my life, but it also speaks to my future self. I’ve really come to see my music and artistry as the better part of who I am. I know that might seem a little confusing, but it’s really quite simple. As an artist you are always exposed to the criticism and opinions of others, which is difficult for most because we all want to be accepted. I struggled with that for years, but then somewhere along the way, I realized that the music I create is more than just about the music. It’s about the journey, not the destination.”

“We find ourselves going a couple of weeks sometimes without really having a chance just to connect. When I was writing ‘Nowhere,’ that’s what I was thinking about. While I was thinking of her she was thinking of me. It’s special because love knows no boundaries.”

Chronicles of Eli—Create Change

“Gazing upon the luminescent night sky where the stars take center stage, standing out in perfect contrast against that seamless black curtain, I became transfixed by the absolute brilliance before me. A hue of violet trailing off the end of a more prominent neon red. I watched it spill toward the earth, like wet paint down a blank canvas. Before me in the dead of winter… the majestic northern lights.”

Eli tells his story, chapter-by-chapter, in the new narrative series ‘Chronicles of Eli’ on Create Change.
