Rapper, cellist and producer Elias D is a 23-year-old all-rounder from the Valais. Introduced to the cello at an early age, he began producing and writing his own songs as a teenager, influenced by the rap tracks he listened to at the time. A fan of sampling and acoustic sounds, he mixes his various musical influences in his compositions, on which he raps and sings his lyrics, sometimes committed, sometimes an outlet. Inspired by artists such as Swing, Primero, Nix Northwest, Gotts Street Park and Alice Phoebe Lou, the artist defines his style as instrumental hip-hop.
In 2024, Elias D took part in the Gustav Académie project and gained experience on stage during their summer tour. He joined a band for the first time and recorded his track ‘Vésuve’. Enthused by this experience, the Valaisan rapper is currently preparing a new project, which he hopes to defend on stage with real instrumentalists.
