A Liverpudlian singer songwriter, based in Cardiff, Elliot Oakley creates a unique yet familiar aesthetic with a mixture of infectious guitar lines, sing along choruses, and tight, Mersey-inspired harmonies. Drawing influence from artists such as The Beatles, Ryan Adams and David Bowie, Elliot brings a vibrant energy that captivates and moves live audiences across the UK.

Talking Bird Music’s Dai Phillips regularly champions Elliot’s work, saying: “Elliot Oakley’s songs are as hard hitting and intriguing as they are anthemic and memorable. His mix of extraordinary creativity and consummate professionalism currently have him on a path to a level of success entirely of his own choosing”.

Elliot is currently dividing his time between being on the road, performing around the UK, and in the studio writing and recording his new material. He is preparing to release his debut single, “One Man Revolution”, a radio-ready indie rock anthem full of captivating hooks. The single offers a three and a half minute snapshot into Elliot’s original sound.

Having booked Elliot for many shows in the last 18 months, Al Power of Enthusiasm Events noted: “Elliot is truly passionate about music and this comes across in EVERY performance.”

Elliot is doing a plethora of radio and other media in August of 2018 to promote the single, including radio sessions at Newport City Radio among others, as well as several more stations in South Wales and his native Merseyside.

In January of 2018, Elliot provided the sound track to Amazon Prime’s “Spirit Breaker”, which marked his first foray into composition for TV. He also provided his song “Don’t Throw It Away” to the weekly shows of the UK’s biggest Pro Wrestling company “Progress”.

As for what the future holds, Elliot has finished forming his backing band, made up of some of the finest and most experienced young performers Wales has to offer. They will be performing Elliot’s new material together over the summer in preparation for the release of “One Man Revolution”, followed by a four-track EP in the last quarter of 2018.

“Elliot Oakley - what a find! It’s very refreshing to come across an accomplished artist who is also such a great songwriter. Polished stage presence and always remembers the audience making his gigs memorable. Definitely worth checking him out.” – Richard Jackson-Bass at Speegra Ltd.
