From his early days as an artist in the late 80s and early 90s, ELK pioneered the dark alternative wave with bands like Wild Cruise, playing clubs like Allenby Theatre, Roxanne and the legendary Penguin.
Through the 90s he became one of the most sought after producers in the country's music industry, writing with and producing some of its biggest names. Those collaborations led to the Mosaic Project, signed to BMG, to scoring the critically acclaimed motion picture “A Matter of Size” (UCM), and to writing the theme song for the Sundance nominee “Strangers”, performed by Glen Hansard.
His newer music, eighteenELKS, continues that authentic alternative narrative with the album “Bad Thought's Junky”, co-produced with his long time colleague Boaz Wolf, drummer and producer of Electra and Men of North Country. The album embodies songs with a pop sensibility, wrapped in ELK's lush, original sound.
