Interview with Elliot Greer

We had the pleasure of interviewing Elliot Greer over Zoom video!Elliot has pulled us in again with another beautiful story. "I Bought A Honda" is about getting memorabilia of a love you once had. Elliot’s posts teasing “I Bought A Honda” across IG have already garnered 1 millions since January 5th of this year.“I Bought A Honda”, Elliot comments:“ ,”Like many of my songs, “I Bought A Honda” is a fictional story derived from glimpses of personal experience. Fleeting feelings that led my spiraling mind into some other walk of life; in this case, a man romanticizing his past so much that he buys an entire car just to feel connected to it. It’s silly when you say the name or try to summarize the concept, but the actual lyrics and melody will try their best to break your heart. You do have to listen carefully, but it’s worth it for the punchline I think.”Watch the music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V2t7F9hLdMAbout Elliot Greer:Whether scrawled in a handwritten diary, committed to the pages of a book, or posted online, an authentic story will resonate. From a stark and stripped-down perspective, Elliot Greer delivers unfiltered truth with grizzled, yet warm intonation accompanied by acoustic guitar. For as much as he harks back to an old school troubadour tradition, his appeal transcends eras. As such, he asserts himself as the rare singer-songwriter who can cut through the noise on social media with tens of millions of views or pack a residency gig on a weekly basis. Growing up in Scotland, he attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York city and later landed a part in Glen Hansard’s Once in upstate New York —only for COVID to shut down the production before it got off the ground. Armed with a basic $100 microphone purchased by his girlfriend, he wrote, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered his independent debut, Handcrafted, in the bathroom of his apartment. Simultaneously, he gigged nonstop, busking 357 days in Central Park, performing anywhere around town with a stage, and joining Ashley McBryde and John Osborne for a performance on The Tonight Show at Jimmy Fallon.In 2022, he launched a TikTok account and broke through with the single “Bleed.” A video of Elliot with an acoustic guitar singing his soul out caught fire, reeling in 8 million views on Instagram and 5 million on TikTok. Now, the Scotland-born and New York-based artist forges a lasting connection on a series of 2023 singles for Arista Records and much more to come, including the captivating and cinematic “I Bought A Honda.”We want to hear from you!
