Elaquent signs multi-album deal with Mello Music and drops new ‘Vices’ single.
Mello Music Group is proud to announce the signing of Canadian producer Elaquent to a new multi-album deal. We’ve been keeping it under wraps for a minute but can finally share it with the world. As for the signing, Elaquent says, “Really happy to be part of the team, so with that, a new beginning. Wanted to try a different, slower vibe with this one. Enjoy! Stay tuned!” Elaquent’s debut Mello Music Group album is expected in the first half of 2019, but to celebrate the new signing, we’ve got a new song titled “Vices” for everyone to enjoy.
Elaquent has seen music through two prisms. On one hand, the producer born Sona Elango has witnessed its power as a connective tissue that brings people in a city––a culture––together. Unifying. On the other, he understands just how deeply isolated one must be to find new corners of his own psyche. A native of Guelph, Ontario, Elaquent grew up without access to the infrastructure that’s readily available in a major city, and had little direction in terms of learning how to craft beats, or to play live. That forced him to learn by trial and error––but it also freed him from the cynical types of networking that gobbles up the time of creative people in coastal cities. And when he finally emerged with his own sound, Elaquent got to work establishing just the kind of scene he had been missing in his formative years.
