Ely Waves

From recording his first song 7 years ago in his basement in Columbus Ohio, the 25 year old rap artist and self-taught engineer Ely Waves, pronounced "El-lee", has come a long way from his early SoundCloud days. After years of experimenting with his sound, Ely began making a name for himself in late 2020 with his unique blend of lofi, hip-hop & pop. Coupled with his raw & emotional deliveries, Ely has a voice you’re likely to remember. 


Ely’s real first taste of success came with the release of his mellow heartbreak tune, “I Just”, hitting the SoundCloud Charts and reaching over 100k streams in less than 2 months on the platform. Ely then followed up his growing momentum with a plethora of vulnerable singles from “Just Hold Me” to “I wish I could feel nothing” which hit multiple top positions and even scored a #1 on the ITunes Charts. These songs went on to serve as the lead singles off of Ely’s debut EP “Forever Alone” which reached a multitude of chart positions on platforms such as Amazon, Apple Music, and ITunes.

Having now reached over 25m+ million streams with only two years under his belt, and with co-signs by likes of Masked Mortal, Promoting Sounds, Bangers Only, Deezer & Pandora, Ely Waves is a name to remember in the rap world for the years to come.
