Today we’d like to introduce you to Eli Wilson.
Hi Eli, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’m an 18-year-old artist from Berrien Springs Michigan. When growing up, you could find 6-year-old me sitting next to the radio flipping through channels and listening to everything that I possibly could. When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would say “A Superstar”. It wasn’t until late into my junior year of high school that I started making music. It all started when my friends and I were bored and tried to make a song for fun. I realized I really enjoyed doing this and continued with the best partner in all of Berrien Springs. Felipe Navia! I would record a track and then send it to Felipe to edit the vocals. 6 months into making music we realized we were starting to make actual good music. I started posting on TikTok regularly and gained the attention of many different people. In my senior year of high school, I realized music was my passion and what I wanted to do with my life. Just recently I signed a record deal with a great company and I’m excited to see what comes next in my journey.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The biggest obstacle I’ve faced is probably criticism. A lot of people will try to put you down and say your dreams are too hard or unrealistic. But the most important part of being successful in anything is a mindset. So, no matter what happens I try to keep a positive mindset and work through everything.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I make music. My goal with my music is for people to relate to it and the words I’m singing.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
I see myself making still music in 5-10 years. The goal is to have a strong fan base and networking so I’ll be able to do what I love as my job. But regardless if I’m making music for millions of people or just a few thousand I’m not gonna stop.
