We had a little chat with soul singer Elias before his performance at the Reeperbahn Festival.

Hi Elias! With one single out, you have already played in many different countries. Could you share any tour memory with us?

It was great when we played the Down the rabbit hole festival in Holland. The festival had arranged with a special beer that had my name on it and we also got to hang out with FKA Twiggs and Damian Marley after the show.

The single Revolution has been loved by everyone, when can we expect to hear more from you?

I will release my debut EP this fall so stay tuned:).

How did being a member of the Tensta Gospel Choir affect you as an artist?

Tensta helped me find my sound and my voice and has also given my a lot of friends. Tensta also opened the door to the music business for me.

What are you looking forward to at the Reeperbahn Festival?

I’m stoked to visit Hamburg for the first time and also play my first German show and meet the crowd that I have heard so much good about.
