Elliot Lee Is Done Feeling like "Dirt" [PREMIERE]

Indie-pop artist Elliot Lee has unveiled her highly addictive single, "Dirt." The track highlights raw, gritty electro soundscapes and edgy vocals oozing with assertiveness. Narrating a deep frustration with those who don't understand the meaningful impact of music, Lee explored a concept she is all too familiar with.

Lee shared,

"When I was in LA briefly, the people I worked with didn’t understand or respect my message and my path. Being told that no one is going to listen to my lyrics made me feel like dirt.“

Lee is known for merging dark pop melodies with her intense vocal tone. Reminiscent of Billie Eilish and Twenty One Pilots, she crafts a rare blend of music that breaks from the norm, giving a strong voice to those who feel voiceless.

Growing up with a wandering lifestyle, music was always one of the only constants for the singer. Though many of her songs draw from feelings of loneliness, they act as a reminder that you're not alone.

Lee hopes to inspire others to stop beating themselves up for mistakes and failures that are out of their control.  With an eccentric fashion style and distinctive sound, she’s fearless, bold and authentically herself. Reaching close to a million hits on Spotify alone, Lee has become a true force to be reckoned with in today's indie music scene.
