ELGIA an artist, composer and performer with multiple explorations of musical genres, always supported by his poetic, deep / reflexive and often provocative texts, improvised during recording or written beforehand. ELGIA, an artist recorded at SACEM, started playing music ten years ago and, as he likes to say, “his little kitchen” to the delight of his listeners, from his home studio. He sometimes performs on stage, although he prefers to remain a studio artist. He makes his own covers and almost all of his clips are available on his author page on Youtube. Publishing on Deezer, Spotify I-tunes and others, all of his already substantial discography (over 300 songs recorded) is available from the independent Bandcamp site. His texts are built on assonances, with multiple meanings of interpretation and are only very rarely published. The artist's bias is to favor his music as "an oral transmission" of knowledge, knowledge and questions through the French language and sometimes even English, with a decidedly "Frenchy" accent.
