Zig At The Gig podcast

Eliy Orcko

Former skate punk Eliy Orcko was born in a small town west of Cleveland, OH. His family relocated to South Florida where he spent a majority of his formative years. His first outlet in music started out in the punk scene in South Florida that quickly pushed him into the hardcore & post hardcore genre as he developed. Eliy constantly expresses he had no interest of being anything until recently, finding much of himself in his current years rapping after a long time of “bumming” around the west coast and coming back to Ohio to collect himself. Eliy’s music is a mixture of Hiphop, Soul, Jazz, Indie, Punk, and Folk pulling from influences like Mos Def to Bon Iver, Jeff Rosenstock, Kid Cudi, The Ink Spots, Kanye West and BloodStone. Allot of vocal melodies shine in Eliy’s music that gives him a different sound than most artist in the “Hiphop” genre, really giving him a sound of his own to hone in on while still using the classic boom bap format. Eliy is a very versatile artist with allot of content, and creativity willing to explore new sounds & mediums to grow and develop as an over all artist.

Eliy talks, his new album Party with my demons, The start of the COVID-19 out break, tours, video game development , his musical journey, and the importance of self belief !

Eliy has a new EP coming out  on Band camp May-8th -2020 and it will be on everything else May-15th -2020
