Elan Atias

Elan is a reggae artist from Los Angeles, California. He released his debut album in June 2006. Elan developed a deep love for rhythm and melody at an early age, but it wasn’t until he teamed up with legendary Wailers guitarist Al Anderson on his demo that Elan’s musical journey began. Impressed with Elan’s style and vocal range, Al recruited him to be the Wailers front-man. It was an offer he couldn’t refuse. Still a musical newcomer, Elan set out on a world tour with Bob Marley’s band for more than three years. Around the globe and back again, he performed the catalogue of Marley classics with impressive respect, talent and purity. Opening for Carlos Santana and India Arie along the way, Elan gained fans from one city to the next. As a solo artist, Elan’s track “Dreams Come True” can be found on the Sex in the City album, and he recorded a song (with Gwen Stefani) for the 50 First Dates soundtrack. Elan is currently recording his debut album with some of the biggest and best reggae producers in the business. The notable list includes heavyweights such as Sly and Robbie, Lenky, Salaam Remi and Tony Kelly to name a few. In addition to producing several tracks, Tony Kanal of No Doubt is serving as Executive Producer on the project. Read more on Last.fm.
