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 “The Dubby Conquerors” and they haven’t looked back ever since. In 2007 they recorded their first album “beweg di” (make a move) at the Scrucialists OneDrop Studios, which was released in October 2007.
The album's first single “Gib mer meh” 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.

Di troim vode schöne Momänt
Doch die chömed nie
s isch immer wieder s glich
s trifft immer wieder mich
säg mer wieso ich dich ned us mim läbe striich
ja d Frustration isch gross
fühl mi wie es loos womer chauft wenn mer glück suecht
wills ned das isch wo sie wet
sie gseht ned was sie het
lass sie Bliibe
sie wird di nur in wahnsinn triibe
sie säge lass sie bliibä
aber ich chas nöööööd
es isch wie e sucht
wie die verbotni fruch
wo di ahzieht und im nächste moment eis schmiert
wennd sunne i ihrem paradies
wie so mängisch nur us iis
eh seg mär wie wird e pflanze riif
ohni wärmi und liebi wo sie bruuuucht
ohni täglicher luft wo sie schnuuuft
gib erä wasser denn sie hät tuurscht
ich ruederä wiiter
au wänn mis schiff versuuft
sie säged lass sie Bliibe
sie wird di nur in wahnsinn triibe
sie säge lass sie bliibä
aber ich chas nöööööd

The song "Las Bliebe" by Elijah is about a relationship that is draining the energy and dreams from the singer. The person he is with doesn't appreciate what they have and can't see the beauty in the moments they share. The frustration is causing the singer to feel lost and like he's spent his money on something that has left him disappointed. He doesn't want to let go of the relationship, but it seems like it's the only option.
The singer compares the relationship to a drug that he knows is bad for him but can't resist. He feels like he's in a paradise when he's with this person but then is quickly brought back down to reality when things don't go as planned. The singer asks for help in trying to figure out how to make this plant grow without the proper nutrients and love. He's going to keep going even if his ship sinks. The chorus repeats that others are telling him to let this person stay, but he just can't do it anymore.
Overall, "Las Bliebe" is a melancholy song about the difficulties and frustration that arise when trying to hold onto a relationship that is draining and unfulfilling.
