From the press release:
Elohim released her first body of work in 2016, which was followed by a number of collaborations with the likes of Louis The Child, Skrillex and Marshmello. Her self-titled album followed in 2018, which included hit singles “Sleepy Eyes,” “Half Love” and “Hallucinating.” Her next release, 2019’s “Braindead” EP was some of her most personal material to date, dealing with the struggles of mental illness. Sales from the project were donated to initiatives in commemoration of Mental Health Awareness Month. Elohim continues her activism in this space through her involvement with the JED Foundation, a nonprofit that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for the nation's teens and young adults.
Elohim's journey has not been easy, but forging fearlessly through challenges, her story is one of resilience. In the half-decade since Elohim released her first single, she's grown from the shy and enigmatic woman who hid her face, into a woman who's proud of conquering her fears and making the music she wants, on her own terms. "When you're in the trenches, it can be hard to see how bad things really are, but I often say you have to go through it to get through it,” she says of how bad things became with her mental health on the heels of her newfound success as an artist in the early days "I want to tell people, honestly, if I can do this, so can you.”
This year, Elohim’s evolution continues. As a fierce declaration of self-love and self-confidence, her upcoming single “Strut,” with Big Freedia, will serve as an unapologetic celebration of uniqueness and inner power. This upcoming single is merely a peek into the world of Elohim, which will be explored through an intricate journey of self-discovery, embraced by way of a 4 part EP campaign, coming later this year.
