ELYASKHAN has built a reputation as one of the most unique vocalists and songwriters in music today. A powerhouse on stage, “taking the spiritual and making it gleefully profane”, with a voice like “melted fucking chocolate over bourbon”, Khan draws influences from his UK-Indian heritage and his creative upbringing in NYC art and music scene to create a dark, sensuous mass of sound, invoking a post punk, Led Zeppelin, electro / folk / funk / urban / nomadic freak-out!

Dubbed “Royalty in dirty disguise” by fans, ELYAS KHAN, solo and with his Brooklyn based band NERVOUS CABARET, has shared stages with Amanda Palmer, Animal Collective, Coco Rosie, Anthony & The Johnsons, Sonic Youth, Nouvelle Vague, 17 Hippies, Tarif de Haidouks, Alain Bashung, Jamie Lidell, and many others, while touring the US and Europe major festivals (Dour, Trans Musicales, Arezzo Wave, etc).

Elyas is living in Berlin. His 1st solo album “Brawl in Paradise” The Gentlemen & Assaassins with himself, Sxip Shirey
