With a taste for music, his life initially took a different path until he was made redundant from his job.
On that same day he had just bought his first small stage piano, but now had no job to fund it. So with a piano under his arm and modest redundancy money, Elliot set out making his first record with the hope of making music his new life.

He has not looked back since and with critical acclaim and airplay from national radio including BBC Radio 2 with ‘Keep Going’, a host of top support slots and a whole album worth of new material recorded, he is ready to let the world hear his best work.

What the press say about Elliot Porter:

Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2 - 'Confident, warm and very beautiful'


Ian Markx, songwriter and journalist – “The EP has the flavours of Ray Lamontagne, Paolo Nutini and Mumford & Sons. The mix of bass, acoustic guitar, piano and percussion gives the songs an organic demeanour and authentic edge. The songs are classy folk pop at its finest”.


Chris Grayston, Future Music: – “Elliot is a creative songwriter with a powerful vocal to drive through any song”.


London FM – “Elliot Porter’s music is beautiful with lovely Lennon and Damien Rice-esque melodies that stay with you and touch the soul”.
