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.

Wishing I could see your smile and hold you too
I know I messed up, I took you for granted
But now I'm lost without you, feeling stranded alone in my bedroom
I want you back, I want you back in my life
I need you back, I need back in my life help me tonight
I can't go on without you. , I'm losing my mind
I know I said some things that hurt you bad
But I'll do anything to make you happy
I miss the way you laugh and the way you move
I miss the way you love me and I love you to
I want you back, want you back in my life
I need you now, need you here by my side
I can't go on without you, I'm losing my mind
Baby, please come back, I'll make it right
I know I messed up, I know I was wrong
But without you, my heart just won't go on
I need you more than words can say
Baby, please don't make me wait another day
I want you back, want you back in my life x2
