Jazz and JazzRock pianist ELEW, first prize winner of the Thelonius Monk competition, has performed regularly with Wynton Marsalis & the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Elvin Jones, Cassandra Wilson, Roy Hargrove, and John Hendricks among countless others. He is known for fusing his piano techniques with rock guitar-based ideas and experimental prepared piano methods, generating a powerful crossover brand he coined “Rockjazz”. Over the course of multiple award winning, ELEW has re-imagined songs by The Killers, Nirvana, Coldplay and Michael Jackson, to name a few. ELEW has further established himself as DJ, performing at The World Economic Forum, TED, Art Basel, A-list Oscar parties, the Monte-Carlo Gala, and the Cannes Film Festival. ELEW places the turntables within the piano, seamlessly executing transitions and improvisations, a format that he calls Piano Turntablism .
