Elijah

from Lost And Sound Hosted by Paul Hanford

Ready to pierce the myths of being a creative in the digital age? Paul sits down with Elijah, Grime and DIY pioneer, who, with over 15 years of industry experience, unpacks "Close The App, Make The Ting", a phrase that has helped him steer his diverse roles - which range from DJ and label owner to teacher and producer - in an ever-evolving, noisy industry. Through using Instagram as a canvas with short captions on yellow squares, with the principles he's gathered from his extensive music career, Elijah thoughtfully addresses the critical role of community, creativity and the music industry in this digital era. We dive deep into what defines success in this digital age and how to strike that delicate balance between personal creativity and industry constraints. Lost and Sound is proudly sponsored by Audio-Technica Paul’s debut book, Coming To Berlin: Global Journeys Into An Electronic Music And Club Culture Capital is out now on Velocity Press.
