Elan Atias
-from Los Angeles
-Atias performed with The Wailers, which had been the backing band for Bob Marley, on and off from 1997 to 2010. Between 1997 and 1999 Elan was the lead singer for the legendary Wailers. Yes, thats right. Those Wailers. Night after night, in front of thousands, Elan sang the words that Bob Marley had written and popularized with--as those thousands and the Wailers themselves will testify--stunning authority and authenticity. At first, people frequently thought he was lip-synching to Marley's vocals; later, many, including people in Jamaica, assumed he was one of Marley's children. Even Carlos Santana once mistook his voice as being a tape recording of Marley.
Elan was signed to London records under the WMG umbrella in January 2000. He was featured on the "Sex and the City" soundtrack and his song "Dreams Come True" was his first big radio hit. In 2004 he teamed with Gwen Stefani on a song for the 50 First Dates soundtrack called "Slave to Love". 2005 had him teaming up with Algerian Rai singer Cheb Khaled and Carlos Santana on a song called "Love to the People" for Khaled's album titled Ya Rayi. A tour of North America followed with an All Star line-up with the likes of K.C. Porter, Don Was, Walfredo Reyes Jr and Carlos Santana.
It took more than a decade (until June 2006) for the artist known as Elan to release his debut album, Together As One. 
The album is executive produced by No Doubts Tony Kanal and features some of the most amazing musicians and producers in Jamaican reggae culture: Sly & Robbie, Fatis, Steve Lenky Marsden, Tony Kelly and DJ legend Cutty Ranks among them. The album was recorded between Jamaica, Miami and Kanal's Los Angeles studio.
 
Elan recently reunited with The Wailers as the lead singer and is touring the world singing the Wailers’ classics as well as songs from his Together As One album. This album is stripped down and deep, and really showcases the magic, that is Elan's voice.
Since being off the road with The Wailers, Atias released his sophomore album "WE ARE" (2011) and has been featured on two Top Ten Albums one a song with country star Kenny Chesney and The Wailers called "Spread the Love" off the album "Life on a Rock" (April/2013) that was # 1 on the Top 100 Billboard charts for 4 weeks and "Get Away" off of hip hop turned reggae star Snoop Lion's (Snoop Dogg) album "Reincarnation"(April/2013) alongside Major Lazer and Angela Hunte. Later that year he teamed up with Dubstep dj's Flinch and Infuze and released "Belly of the Beast" on SMOG records, a mashup of genre's with a dancehall/dubstep/trap vibe that has got rave reviews in the edm world.
In 2014, Elan has been working on his 3rd album with producers Switch (Beyonce,MIA, Santigold, Major Lazer) Diplo and Tony Kanal to name a few. This dynamic singer/songwriter can't wait to get more music out to his fans!
