Rise to Fame: The Elijah Woods x Jamie Fine Era
Elijah Woods, an independent Canadian singer, songwriter and producer, first stepped into the spotlight in 2015 as a member of the urban-pop duo Elijah Woods x Jamie Fine. The pair’s big break came in 2018 on the music competition show The Launch, where their song “Ain’t Easy” became an instant hit. The track didn’t just make waves—it put the duo on the map, racking up over 20 million plays on Spotify and solidifying its place as their most iconic release. But as all great stories evolve, so did theirs.
A New Chapter: Going Solo
In November 2020, Elijah Woods and Jamie Fine decided to part ways and begin solo careers. For Elijah, this marked the start of a new chapter—and what a chapter it’s been so far. Today, he boasts nearly four million monthly listeners on Spotify and shows no signs of slowing down.
Elijah’s solo journey began with a bang. Within his first year, he released five singles, including his debut track Lights, which has garnered over 9.5 million listens. The song charted at number 47 on the Canadian Hot 100 and was certified gold by Music Canada—a fairy-tale start for any solo artist. His hot streak continued with the release of his debut EP, Look What I Made, in 2021, setting the tone for a flourishing solo career.
Success and Reflections: Hey There Elijah
Fast forward to now, and Elijah Woods has cemented himself as a household name in pop music. September 2024 saw the release of his EP, Hey There Elijah, a collection of pop-rock melodies and introspective tracks inspired by his life’s recent ups and downs. “It’s everything I’ve been through in the last few years,” Elijah shared—a statement that explains the raw, heartfelt themes of the project.
A Deeper Dive: Elijah Would!
But Elijah wasn’t done yet. One month later, he gifted fans another gem: Elijah Would!

On Elijah Would!, the production is a masterful blend of polished and raw authenticity. Acoustic warmth meets upbeat melodies, layered with smooth, overlapping vocals that move each story forward. The lyrics—crafted with care and intention—anchor the EP’s storytelling, making it relatable and enjoyable. Whether singing about love, self-reflection, or life’s messy and questionable moments, Elijah’s ability to connect through music shines bright.
The Talented Team Behind the EP
The project’s creative narrative was aided by Elijah’s collaboration with critically acclaimed co-writers Jack LaFrantz (Benson Boone, “Beautiful Things”) and Andrew Goldstein (LANY, black bear, MKTO), and articulately molded by famous co-producers TMS (Lewis Capaldi, Dua Lipa) and Jason Suwito (Benson Boone, Imagine Dragons).
With a team of this caliber behind the scenes, it’s no wonder the EP shines with impeccable refinement and creativity.
