“I wanna make music that means something to people”

Elephante graduated Harvard in May 2011 with a major in economics and a minor in music. Right after college he landed a prestigious position at Mckinsey & Company in Los Angeles. A few years after he quit that job to focus on music full-time. Since then he has had nearly 10 million plays on Spotify just weeks after release and spots in heavy rotation on SiriusXM’s biggest dance stations (BPM and Chill) as well as iHeart Evolution.
