Elan Suave – 1 OF 1 [Interview]

Describe your sound in 3 words.

Clear, Modern, Unique

Your flow has a signature autotuned sound. Tell us a few things about your creative process.

Although I use autotune, I don’t need it as a crutch. I can sing just as well without the autotune. In fact, I record with no autotune on my microphone. The autotune is only added when I send the clean vocal files to my engineer after I record.

Which song of the EP reflects you the most?

“1 OF 1” reflects me the most because of the confidence in the song. “1 OF 1” was also inspired by my birth date 1/1

Artists and people who have influenced and inspired you?

Tory Lanez, A Boogie, PNB Rock, and Roddy Ricch are artists who influenced me and inspired me to make my own music. More personally, though, my brother was the first person in my life who made me want to record music. I always saw him and his friends make music and I knew that I had potential to make great music.

What does hip hop symbolize in your opinion?

Hip Hop, in my opinion, symbolizes the liberation of black people. Music is often a getaway for a lot of people. Hip Hop is also a tool that black people have used over the years to better their situations.

In which state of mind do you imagine people might listen to your music?

I believe that people can listen to my music in any state of mind. I don’t make only one type of vibe. I have music that people can listen to in a sad state of mind (Found Me) or a happy state of mind (1 OF .

What is the one habit/thing you cannot live without?

I cannot live without my phone. It’s always in my hand, rather it’s because of work (social media, posting, etc) or leisure time. (Texting, etc)

Thank you!
