Elijah Wesse was born in Ypsilanti, MI at St. Joes Hospital on March 29, 1996. He spent most of his time growing up with his four sisters and mother in Southeast Michigan and later moved to the east coast at 16. Eli’s parents were both passionate musicians. They played and exposed Eli to music at an early age.

Eli would later return to Michigan at age 19. In fall 2016, Eli met Billboard-charting producer Arjun Singh and began to start taking music more serious. Together they would work to produce many records, including the singles “Small Talk” and “CICI”. It was during this time that Eli was arrested for gun-related charges and served two years in MDOC between 2017-2019. 

After being released, Eli touched down in Los Angeles, where he became a member of Savage Squad Records. He then re-released CICI garnering notable attention of many. As the record began to turn heads, Eli went on to work with notable creatives, including Glo Gang artist Tadoe, the Bachelorette’s Grant Kemp and others while putting together his debut project, “TILL FAME DO US PART”. The EP was officially released February 22nd, 2020.
