ON THE SPECTRUM

The Elison story should start with a fulfilled desire to play the saxophone at school, but instead starts with a short-lived stint as the chief and only bassoon player in the school orchestra. This led to a lengthy hiatus from music until school was left behind once and for all, although the faintly happy memories of a few lead singing parts in disappointing school shows had a career as a bed and bath crooner almost all but guaranteed. The necessary four guitar chords were learnt and the singing began. The lack of any real talent at this point meant it should have remained a private past time, but the surprising volume put out by this once bass blowing chest caught the attention of a few distant neighbours and their anger suggested at least one thing. The voice was strong. Elison went on to become a singer/songwriter for the rest of his life, with stints as band members, a club DJ, a tribute artist and a recording engineer keeping him sharp and with money in his pocket. He was ultimately able to build a studio where all five of his albums and great many singles were recorded and he uses to help other young talented musicians who can’t afford studio time elsewhere get their songs recorded. He has gone on to become a solo recording artist from near Birmingham, England in the heart of the country making music full of heart.
