Elijah is an artist, DJ & all-round creative force based in London. With a deep-rooted connection to grime & electronic music, in recent years Elijah has become known to many for his “Yellow Squares” project on social media, where he shares insights into the nature of creative work in the digital age.

Ahead of his first ever speaking tour of Australia, we talked about how his experiences growing up listening to pirate radio and documenting the birth of the grime scene were formative in his understanding of how music works, and why its important to challenge the conventional narratives of the music industry. We also discussed why now, despite going viral on social media, he is much more interested in the real world.
