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.
Sie Isch Wäg

Und mängisch stell mer vor, wied wartisch vorem Tor, und dänn fallsch mer um de hals und es wär alles wie damals.
Mir chöntet eifach en schöne Abig verbringe, ich derft wieder für dich singe.
Sie isch wäg, sie isch wäg und ich bin no da.
Sie isch wäg, sie isch wäg denn sie het mich verlah
Sie isch wäg, sie isch wäg und ich bin no da.
Sie isch wäg, sie isch wäg denn sie het mich verlah.
Jede Auge woni gseh versuech di drinn zerchänne. Jedem Gruch wo nach dir schmöckt versuechi nazränne.
Weiss isch schwieig sich demit abzfinde, das kei anderi Frau die sehensucht wird lindere, weisch.
Isch schwieig sich demit abzfinde, das kei anderi Frau wird chöne verhindere, dasmi immer wieder neu i dich verlieb, bi jedem, ablick vo dir verstierb, aber nei nei.
Sie isch wäg, sie isch wäg und ich bin no da.
Sie isch wäg, sie isch wäg denn sie het mich verlah
Sie isch wäg, sie isch wäg und ich bin no da.
Sie isch wäg, sie isch wäg denn sie het mich verlah.
Ma woman, she's gone, she's gone for so long i said
Ma woman, she's gone, she's gone for so long and she wont come back again. And i'm waiting and when i she wont come back again, ima waiting and when i say
Ma woman, she's gone, she's gone for so long i said
Ma woman, she's gone, she's gone for so long and she wont come back again. And i'm waiting and when i she wont come back again, ima waiting and when i say
These lyrics are from the song "Sie Isch Wäg" by Elijah. The song is about a person who deeply misses their partner who has left them. The lyrics express how the person feels the absence of their partner every day and how they long for their presence next to them. The lyrics also talk about how the person imagines being reunited with their partner, and how they could have a beautiful evening together. The song also touches upon the struggle of trying to move on from the person, but finding it difficult to do so.
The first stanza talks about how the singer feels the presence of their partner even when they are not around. The lyrics describe how the singer longs for their partner to be next to them in bed, so that they are not alone. The second stanza talks about how the singer imagines being reunited with their partner, and how they can have a beautiful evening together, where the singer can sing for them. The chorus repeats the lines about how the partner is gone, but the singer remains, and how difficult it is to accept that there is no one who can replace their partner.
The final stanza talks about how the singer tries to find their partner in everything around them - in the sights, sounds and smells. The lyrics express how difficult it is to accept that no one else can fill the void left by their partner. The chorus then repeats the lines about the partner being gone, and the singer waiting for their return.

Ma woman, she's gone, she's gone for so long i said
