Eli Younger

Hello! My name is Eli. I’m a 21-year-old musician from Boston, Massachusetts, specializing in multi-instrumentalism and arranging. Music has fueled my life since I was 8 years old, when I held a conch shell to my lips and let rip such a sound that it revealed I was a brass player in the making. Starting with the trumpet, music became an integral part of my adolescence, allowing my intuitive spirit and eagerness to learn to run free. As I grew up, my thirst for knowledge drove me to exploring other instruments and musical activities. At the age of 15, I began experimenting with the bass, guitar, drums, and keys, as well as beginning to compose, record, and produce original songs. I became enamored with the process of learning the in’s and out’s of music, from the intricacies of music tech to developing my ear and improvisational skills. I decided to continue my music education at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in the United Kingdom, where I found myself within a sea of creative people, with endless opportunities for collaboration. My time at the university shaped my career, and allowed me to discover my specific passions for arranging and playing as a session musician. My experience as a musician is varied and rich, including performing to sold-out crowds, creative studio sessions, and intense arranging projects. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with as many people as I can in the future. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you’d like me on your team for your next project! 

“As Eli is naturally talented, his musical development occurred more through his sense of commitment, his ability to focus and his perseverance. His determination for excellence was exemplary. Frustration and failure was always used for his own positive advantage.”
– Jay Daly, Trumpeter, New England Brass

“Eli’s orchestrations served as well-informed, powerful and tasteful to elevating the story, and was a highly complimented aspect of the sold-out run that debuted in Liverpool in March 2024… Not only did Eli’s talent impress the Gardening Club team, but he was an incredibly genuine, passionate and enthusiastic creative to work with. Quick responses, positive interactions and punctual professionalism.”
– Bella Wright, Composer and Recording Artist

“Eli quickly took on the responsibilities of the project, recommending venues, communicating with players, scheduling practice spaces, and all while preparing to perform himself.
