Young Phenom Elan Suave Sparks Up ‘22 with a Blazing New EP Release, “1 OF 1”

Published

on

NEW YORK, NY) 18-year-old music savant Elan Suave is the model of consistency having already grinded out an extensive catalog of singles and EP’s since his debut on the scene at only 14. The New York City hip-hop artist continues his flourishing music journey with the release of his 6th studio EP project, titled “1 OF 1” by way of his label Bam Bam Productions.

This new EP release serves as a seminal milestone in Elan’s music endeavors as each track displays his growth and maturity as an artist. The “1 OF 1” EP is a 5-track collection of certified bangers, booming bass lines and scorching hot bars that cohesively take you on a path into Elan’s mindset ….embracing the unwavering confidence in his abilities, individuality and how he views himself and also how others should perceive him.

The “1 OF 1” EP contains two recently released singles, the self-titled “1 OF 1” and “Faith” which have already garnered significant support across the streaming platforms, setting the stage for this EP to resonate with the masses of music listeners worldwide. “1 OF 1” is a lyrical masterstroke as Elan cleverly ties in the concept of each song into a record that collectively demonstrates his personal evolution and continued progression in his artistry.

For example, the EP starts off with “1 OF 1” where Elan steadfastly declares his uniqueness and confidence in what makes him different, while following up with “Faith” where he expresses a resolute belief in himself and his abilities. These abilities are lauded in the next track “Gifted” and he touches on his intent to utilize these gifts for his advancement… elevating himself.

On “Remind You”, he’s mindful of his worth and wants to get that point across… just in case that fact is being glossed over. The EP is then fittingly capped off with “To the Game ” where Elan is literally “stepping up his game” to achieve the things that will be a huge factor in him living the kind of life that he wants to live.

While each track on this EP represents an independent theme, they all carry the grandiose, pulsating soundscapes that have come to define an Elan Suave track, including the cinematic chord progressions and ear-catching melodies. As always, Elan accentuates the instrumentation with his signature harmonious transitions between a rap and melodic R&B style flow. His silky, smooth baritone vocal timbre distinctly captures your listening senses and displays a showmanship far beyond his years.

Elan joined forces on this EP project with a group of immensely talented young producers including Na2kaa, Hicks Made That, Nikblor Beats, Wayv and frequent collaborator Jose “Clutch” Martinez, as well as fellow hip-hop artist Yvng Khaa on “Gifted”.

Elan Suave is primed to leave an indelible mark on the hip-hop scene with the “1 Of 1” EP, continuing to raise the bar with each and every release while redefining the standards of the genre. Seeking to meet and surpass the almost 950,000 streams across 160 countries on Spotify last year, Elan is off to a tremendous start in exceeding that mark,

The “1 OF 1” EP is available on all streaming platforms (Spotify link below). Make sure to stream it, playlist it and save it to your Favorites Library. Club and radio DJ’s, make this boommode track a “must-have” in your sets and airplay programming. Enjoy!

Aaron Koenig Releases Ska Anthem for Geeks

Published

on

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!

His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.

“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”

The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:

“I just want to entertain people and make them a bit happier.”– Aaron King.

Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.

“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.

“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”

Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
