Since 2004 he brings together different european cultures, chanting in local Zurich-patois, Italian and English. About three years ago he hooked up with the backing band βThe Dubby Conquerorsβ and they havenβt looked back ever since. In 2007 they recorded their first album βbeweg diβ (make a move) at the Scrucialists OneDrop Studios, which was released in October 2007.
The album's first single βGib mer mehβ received airplay on several national Swiss radio stations and stayed in heavy-rotation for months. The following two singles/videoclips were also heavily promoted on national tv and radio stations.
But the true core of his success is a live show so energetic and fully vibes-loaded, that - no matter where or when - you just can't resists dancing. Since the album release in Oct 2007, Elijah is constantly on tour, not only successfully crossing the language barrier between the French and the German part of Switzerland, but also playing shows all over central Europe.

I know we've been through some stuff
But I found it's not enough
For me to give up on you
Hey
I know I said some words
That you didn't deserve to hear
And I mean they weren't true
We've lied and we've cried
But I feel I've almost died without you
And if I'm not by your side
What other person's eyes will you look into
You know I'd go outside today
But the thoughts won't go away
Thinking about it gives me anxiety
I can't imagine someone else kissing you
I cannot picture, them doing the things I used to
And if and when the day will come
I would rather run then lose you
Hey
I see the way they all look at you
The way I use to
Before we fell out
Hey
I used to think that I would be there
forever
Now forever turned into a never
And I want to my anger out
We've lied and we've cried
And I feel I've almost died without you
And if I'm not by your side
The other person will dry your eyes
You know I'd go outside today
But the thoughts won't go away
Thinking about it gives me anxiety
I can't imagine someone else kissing you
I cannot picture, them doing the things I used to
And if and when the day will come
I would rather run then...
I can't imagine someone else kissing you
I cannot picture, them doing the things I used to
And if and when the day will come
And if and when the day will come
And if and when the day will come
And if and when the day will come
I would rather run...
