His songs are simple, approachable “paintings” of life and love. Many have tried to assign his music to a specific genre, but as Elliott puts it – his genre is “Life”. With lyrics that dance between melancholy and the unabashed joys of living, and his knack for marrying layman’s wisdom with contagious melody, Elliott has earned much respect in Nashville and beyond.
In 2006, his song “I Loved Her First,” recorded by Heartland, hit #1 on Billboard and R&R Magazines, propelling him into an elite circle of hit writers. Although he continues to make frequent trips to Nashville to write with some of today’s top writers and artists, Elliott has chosen to remain in Texas in order to stay in touch with what he calls his “real life inspiration”. Elliott lives in a small West Texas town with his wife Pam and their four children. He works as a graphic artist and also owns a recording studio (Fly Boy Music Company). He enjoys serving on the local school board, coaching Little League, running sound for his church… and of course writing songs. |
