Background

Elliott Power was born in Ealing Hospital in Southall London and was raised in Brentford, West London. He attended Little Ealing Primary School, Isleworth & Syon Secondary School and the University of Roehampton. Power's Mother is of English and Irish descent, his Father is of Nigerian and Trinidadian descent. Power met his production partner Dorian Lutz through a mutual friend when he was 15 years old. Dorian's uncle had a small recording studio just off Askew Road in Shepherd's Bush, West London. Lutz had invited Power down to the studio, he described their first encounter in a written interview with Vulture:
I'd never been in a professional studio before, with a booth, mixing desk and proper mics and stuff and here was this 14 year old skinny kid, Dorian - setting everything up, using a mixing desk and engineering the whole session. From that day I knew he was a special talent.

It wasn't until Elliott Power was 21 years old that he started taking music seriously, and started trying to shop his then-demo with little success. Power went onto release his debut single "Sink/Swim" through Marathon Artists in May 2013. Elliott Power went onto sign an album deal with Marathon Artists and released his debut album Once Smitten'' as a collaborative project with James Lavelle's Mo' Wax in February 2016.
