Hailing from New Jersey and Georgia, ELI ENERGY is an independent artist blending Neo-soul, Hip-Hop, pop, and jazz into a sound that defies traditional boundaries. Drawing inspiration from legends like Lauryn Hill, Billie Holiday, Amy Winehouse, Smino, Tupac, and Freddie Mercury, ELI ENERGY crafts music that is both intimate and expansive, exploring personal growth, self-love, and empowerment.
Her creative process is guided by acceptance and presence, allowing her to channel the feelings that inspire her music without judgment. This approach gives her songs a raw, authentic quality, whether the mood is reflective, bold, or experimental.
ELI ENERGY’s latest project, “MANA,” acts as a shadow journal in musical form. The project reflects her journey of self-reflection and perspective-shifting, walking listeners through her thoughts and experiences while encouraging introspection and empowerment. Through her music, she conveys themes of healthy self-love, resilience, spiritual connection, and confidence—essentially showing up fully as herself in every note.
As an independent artist, motivation and inspiration don’t always come easily, but ELI ENERGY stays grounded in her “why.” She actively engages her audience through social media, connecting daily with supporters and fostering an intimate relationship with her fanbase. Authenticity is at the core of her work, rooted in a strong sense of self and clear vision for who she is as an artist.
Career milestones include her slot at the Hot 97 Who’s Next Fest, a defining moment that validated her work and presence in the industry. Beyond music, ELI ENERGY has long-term aspirations to be a voice of unity and truth, using her platform to launch community-focused initiatives, entrepreneurship ventures, and creative collaborations across entertainment, fashion, and lifestyle brands.
Her music encourages listeners to trust their intuition, embrace themselves, and never sell themselves short—a philosophy reflected in both her artistry and her vision for the future.
