About Elvis E

From Nigeria to the Netherlands

Elvis E as a little boy would play his keyboard for more than eight hours a day. His mother was not happy about that as she believed her son could have spent a little more time studying his school work. But Elvis E only wanted to play the piano as he derived great pleasure from playing the keyboard. His mother eventually had to hide his Keyboard adapter so that Elvis E would shift his focus on other things, particularly studying his books. That action by his mother was without success, because Elvis E immediately procured a new Keyboard adapter. That shows how passionate Elvis E was about playing his Keyboard while growing up in Benin City in Nigeria. His love for music has never diminished, instead, it kept developing.


When Elvis E was only four years old, his older sister introduced him to the music world. He started out as a drummer in church, but fell completely in love with the piano when his older brother began to teach him how to play the keyboard. Elvis E also sang in the church choir. These experiences were his springboard to a glittering musical career. 

​

Later Elvis E became a producer at a large studio in Lagos. He collaborated with renowned gospel artists. In addition, Elvis E himself played weekly in a large church: 'House on the Rock Church, Lagos, Nigeria.' Elvis E continued to make full use of his musical talent. In 2004 he was sent to The Netherlands by his church for the work of the music ministry. He started with a Dutch evangelism project for the establishment of the 'House on the Rock' church in Almere.

​

Soon Elvis E felt at home in The Netherlands. He worked for the church with great passion. He met his wife, they got married and they are blessed with four children. Elvis E started his own production company with the name; "Ediasproduction."

​

As a producer and as an artist, Elvis E has already worked with established Dutch names, such as Dwight Dissels, Ruth Jacott, Berget Lewis and Shirma Rouse. As a solo artist, Elvis E is also largely known in The Netherlands, Africa, America, Canada and Spain.


Elvis E is always very busy with his music engagement around the world. As a singer, music director, arranger and producer. From large church services to festivals and from choir coachings to TV shows.
