After several additions to an international audience, the time has come for Eliyiah to also perform in his home country of the Netherlands. A few songs were released last week.

It has consciously been quiet for him lately, but behind the scenes Eliyiah has been working on third-party productions for years. A selection from his portfolio indicates that he has completed assignments for Belgian/Dutch radio stations, a well-known flash delivery service in the Netherlands and writing songs for artists. 

Among other collaborations with American, Russian and German producers, including multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, mix engineer, and record producer FreshMicks, according to various online articles and published song credits including Discogs and MusicBrainz.

After successfully announcing his releases to a Dutch audience, Eliyiah’s single ‘Promise’ will be played on local Dutch radio for the first time this Friday already. During the first days of its release, this song alone has brought him a reach of 1,000+ Dutch listeners (according to Spotify Charts), without any demonstrable advertising budget from his management.

After a successful collaboration, the 24-year-old Kroep is now ready to storm an international audience for the first time under his own name Eliyiah. “Get on the train while you still can, because we’re not going to stop anymore, “there is simply no going back,” Eliyiah says.

Eliyiah also finds it exciting to have come out with his music and this explains the announcement of his EP a few months ago with the name ‘shadow’. Why this EP and accompanying songs were not released remains unknown.

If other online publications are to be believed (source list below), Eliyiah is a promising artist to start keeping an eye on.

                                         

From HipHopSince1987, we recently heard his name through various playlists and listened to some of the songs he recently released through Eliyiah Music Records. 

                                                  

Our honest opinion is that you can definitely hear in his productions that he has been around for quite some time and has been collaborated on by professional artists. Of course he is not a native American and this can be heard, but the story and emotion is still well conveyed. 

                                                   

Eliyiah (24) is from the Netherlands and his music can be categorized under emo-rap where in his first three singles you can hear strong influences from Internet Money releases, especially in ”I Wish It Was All A Dream”. 

                                        

Besides names like FreshMicks (as audio engineer) and Sogimura (producer) we cannot find any other collaborating names and it is difficult for us to find out which team is behind Eliyiah. However, it is clear that he is receiving quick support and praise through his socials.

                                           

Perhaps this is an omen in his dream to become the next foreign success story, but in our opinion Eliyiah has a long way to go in this since he is at the start of his career. 

                                 

We are looking forward to hearing Eliyiah’s next singles in order to review our judgment in due course.
