Hello, this is the page for Ellohay Music. I am a one-person band for the moment, though someday I hope to expand and include other people. I am based out of rural Pennsylvania.
Band/artist history
Before I was even born, I was listening to music. My parents had an alarm clock that played Mozart's Symphony No. 40 and each night my father would play the song and hold the clock to my mother's stomach as a lullaby. Before I learned to talk I could already hum tunes I overheard, and at six years old I had written my first original song which was about Jesus' return. Through my teen years I played cornet and created my own songs on the piano, but was also singing and recording words to them secretly.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Growing up, my family occasionally sang songs in church as well as participated in Christmas pageants. Those were basically my first experiences in front of audiences. I joined cornet quartets a few years in a row, and later on I sang duets with my dad. After college, I continued writing music on my own and eventually had the opportunity to sing with a choir for a Christian conference as well as a Christmas concert at Carnegie Hall.
Your musical influences
It's hard to say what my influences are, because for most of my life I mainly absorbed musical elements from what I heard and specifically made it a goal not to knowingly copy anyone's style, which is a rule I still somewhat hold to. However, artists that probably influenced me were classical musicians like Khachaturian, Rimsky-Korsakov, Prokofiev, Brahms, Haydn and contemporary musicians like Phil Keaggy, Keith and Kristyn Getty, Steve Taylor, and Eden's Bridge. I received training by Getty Music to improve in the area of hymn writing - music specifically for the Church and group singing.
