An LA native from Moroccan/American descent, Elan Atias’ love for music and singing began as a young child while listening to a wide variety of artists including Bob Marley, James Brown, Led Zeppelin and more.
Elan’s vocals caught the ear of The Wailers guitarist, Al Anderson, which lead to Elan being offered to sing in his very first live band gig as the lead singer for The Wailers. This began the life changing journey of touring the world as lead singer for The Wailers that would continue on and off for more than a decade.
To date, he has released two solo records, Together As One in 2006 and We Are in 2011 and has been recruited as a collaborator with an eclectic array of artists including Gwen Stefani, Major Lazer, Snoop Dogg, Kenny Chesney, and Carlos Santana.
Elan’s latest release “You Are Not Alone” releases 11.19.21 with plans to release an EP in 2022.
