Burning up the Billboard charts currently the song "Cry No More" is keeping the airwaves buzzing. New R&B artist Elijah King coming out of Miami is on the road doing his promo tour. He took time out of his busy schedule to let 24hour know what he has been up to:

24: At what age did you start pursuing music?

Elijah: I've always had a love for music but I started trying to get my foot in the door professionally since I was 17.
 
24: Are you currently signed to a label?

Elijah: Yes, I am signed to an independent label called VIP MUSIC.

24: Are you working on an album?

Elijah: I am most definitely working on my first official album as we speak. It will be released later this year. You can also catch updates on that through my web page. Trust me, it's going to be off the chain!

24: What features might we expect to see on this album?

Elijah: I can't give up that surprise yet but I can guarantee people will be shocked! I will hint though... maybe someone from the ATL, MIAMI, BROOKLYN...

24: Every artist expresses themselves differently. What would you like the fans to feel when they listen to your music?

Elijah: I would like them to feel my genuine love for what I do, and the things I sing/talk about. I want them to "feel" me whether I'm singing/talking about love, pain, joy, sadness, relationships, etc.

24: You have been doing alot of shows lately. Do you have any shows coming up in the next year that we should be looking forward to?

Elijah: There are many things coming up in the future! One of the bigger venues right around the corner would be CALLE OCHO. I don't want to give up the events after that just yet but you can definitely catch exclusive clues or immediate updates on my web page, www.myspace.com/elijahkingmusic



24: What features might we expect to see on this album?

Elijah: I can't give up that surprise yet but I can guarantee people will be shocked! I will hint though... maybe someone from the ATL, MIAMI, BROOKLYN...

24: When is the album dropping?

Elijah: Don't want to jump the gun, but sometime around the late second quarter.

24: Do you have one favorite song on the album? and why?
    
Elijah: Honestly no specific favorite's just yet. I wouldn't be able to decide that yet. I can't even make up my mind on all the final album cuts. You could say that's a good problem to have.

24: So our readers want to know what is going on with the billboards? you are at number 45 for your single "Cry No More" and it is picking up steam, how do you feel about that?




Elijah: I feel great! It's been a blessing to get this far. There's still so much about to pop off. I got a long road ahead and can't wait to see what's next!

24: You are also on the radio featured on a song with Dj Laz and Mims. How did you meet Dj Laz?

Elijah: Well he's actually been like a mentor to me. After all the grinding and long nights in the studio, we were able to cross paths through my current manager.Dj Laz kind of took me under his wing and along with him and three other gentlemen, VIP MUSIC was birthed. 

24: What producers are you working with?

Elijah: So far, I've had the pleasure of working with some of the best in the business. Just to name a few;  Diaz Brothers, Blackout, Deadbeat, Beta Control, Fliptones. By the end of my project there will be more BIG additions to the list, but we're keeping that on the down low. until the big album release.

24: Every artist expresses themselves differently. What would you like the fans to feel when they listen to your music?

Elijah: I would like them to feel my genuine love for what I do, and the things I sing/talk about. I want them to "feel" me whether I'm singing/talking about love, pain, joy, sadness, relationships, etc.
