"i'm not scared now" is anthemic and monumental
Coleman Goughary, US Director of Artist Relations at Ableton
Elliot.wavs' 2023 EP, "i'm not scared now" is an emotional journey, a vocal tour de force and a bold debut.
Lush choirs and heavy guitars set the stage for Elliot.wavs's soaring vocals in the title track, "I'm Not Scared Now". Playful synths blast off over a snappy piano groove in "When You Were Here". Elliot.wavs's tender falsetto melts into the smooth acoustic rhythms of "Tumble", and delivers a heartbreaking performance on "twenty five". Don't be surprised if you spontaneously break into song during "So Long". Go ahead, it's alright.
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 such greats as Dolly Parton and Linda Rondstadt.

Bio
Elliot.wavs started playing piano as soon as he was tall enough reach the keys. He studied jazz guitar at the brutally competitive University of North Texas until 2012, when a hand injury threw his entire future into question.
Moments like these have always provided fodder for Elliot.wavs' songwriting, which tackles big emotions with 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 has also worked as a sideman, recording and touring with acts such as Karma Stewart, Courtney Santana, Calliope Musicals (Best Band - Austin Chronicle, 2016), and Honey Made (Best Live Band, Austin Fit Magazine 2022, 2023)
His latest release, "Tumble (Trusko Mix)" (August 1st, 2024) is the perfect slow jam for night driving or dancing close. The vocals are silky, the grooves are deep, and Cameron McCloud's rap verse hits just right.
