Elijah Cruise is an alternative artist and producer based out of Nashville, TN. His debut EP, Dark Romance, showcases his artistic vision, cinematic production style, and powerhouse vocals. Drawing influence from many different eras and mediums, Elijah blends them into something that feels entirely his own.
He’s been steadily carving out his lane—building a ride-or-die fanbase not just on TikTok, but through nonstop touring throughout the year.
Listening to his music feels like stepping into a moody, 2010s Tumblr-era world inspired by Lana Del Rey, Arctic Monkeys, and The Neighbourhood—while still maintaining a uniquely captivating sound that sets him apart.
The story began with his breakout single Poem of a Killer, a collaboration with WE ARE FURY, earning over 2.5 million streams and a feature on BBC Radio 1. He followed it with the alt-rock anthems Vampire U and Suicide In Her Head, both surpassing 100K streams within their first month.
In 2025, Elijah Cruise headlined two tours, played over 45 shows, and released three new singles—Chérie, Dark Romance, and Loverboy—all gaining viral traction on TikTok and opening the door to a whole new audience. These releases culminated in his debut EP, Dark Romance, a six-song project that feels equally cinematic and nostalgic.
