We had the good fortune of connecting with Elijah Howard and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Elijah, we’d love to hear more about your end-goal, professionally.
My End goal Is To Be, and Oscar, Grammy, And Emmy Award Winner! I want to star in films with actors I grew up watching, I want to Share the Stage with Pop stars And Musicians I grew up listening to. I want My Voice Heard By Billions!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I Absolutely love creating My Music, It’s definitely a passion of mine! People think Creating music is Easy. For the most part it is, however mine takes a little bit longer. From Background Melodies, to Harmonizing, To creating the Beat, Trying different Versions of the song, it’s all a Fun Process in the studio! My Go to Studio Engineer “Huc” Located in Burbank CA, “Space2813” Has helped me a great deal since I was 17 years old basically a baby in the studio not knowing my direction he steered me. He has worked with So Many Dope Artists Big And Small, I will forever continue to work with him while he teach me more lessons! There’s always something to be Learned! I am proud Of My Progress as an artist. Sometimes it feels like you aren’t moving forward in life. But you have to step back and realize Progress does not happen over night. Only if you keep working, and keep Believing! Coming up in this Industry I’ve learned I can’t take everyone with me. As much as I would love to, a lot of individuals aren’t as motivated as you are. And that can bring your spirit down making you believe it’s not possible. I’ve learned to leave people on their journey while I Continue on mine. The biggest Life Lesson I can Say is if Someone wants to walk out your Life, LET THEM GO. And Close the Door Behind them. Even throw a lock on it for good measure 🙂

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love a Good Night Out! First Off living in Los Angeles You HAVE to explore The Hollywood Walk Of Fame, it’s literally a MUST. We would definitely have to Have a Trip to Boiling Crab to eat some REALLY GREAT Seafood. If we want to stay on the non messy side of Dinner I’d Take Them to a Really Nice Downtown Los Angeles Restaurant! We Love a Good Beach Day/Bonfire At Dockweiler Beach, Santa Monica Peer, and Venice Beach! The Griffith Park Scenery Is Beautiful! Day and Night looking over the city is a must see! There’s numerous places I would Still like to explore so Definitely will be doing lots of To-Do List Activities soon!
