Elijah Gentle
Elijah Gentle is a musician and producer based in the Northern Rivers region of NSW [ New South Wales, Australia, ndR ] who is particularly interested in world beats, roots music, electro fusion, and the power of story through song.
Elijahs latest project 'No Borders Music' was a collaboration with musicians who are seeking refuge in Europe. It is an album which tells the tale of persecution, migration and a longing for love. Elijah traveled through refugee camps along the Balkan Route, the unofficial route refugees and migrants take from The Middle East to Europe. He recorded songs with musicians who are on refuge-seeking journeys and have incredible stories to share, then produced their music with collaborations from local Australian musicians into an album titled 'The Balkan Route'. The vision for No Borders Music a platform for musicians to be able to collaborate across seas and border fences, creating and releasing music while living in exile. For Elijah, music is a source of life, a concept which runs deep in the 'No Borders Music' project.
