Elijah (he/him) is an actor, model, writer, fashion assistant, African history nerd, and overall creative, multi-hyphenate.

Growing up, one of five children, Elijah has always gone to the beat of his own drum, heavily influenced by the ambiance and buzz that is New York. He’s a recent graduate of The University of Hartford - The Hartt School, in which he majored in Musical Theater with a minor in Africana Studies. Being Black in the creative space, it is part of his mission to further better the narrative and experiences of persons of color, not only in this space, but around the world.

Throughout his time at Hartt, he also undertook numerous modeling opportunities — appearing in publications such as Vogue, Elle, Teen Vogue, Puma, etc. and has walked the stages of New York Fashion week for the past six seasons. Elijah took his final collegiate bow as Eddie Souther in Sister Act this Spring :)
