Elton Aura is a Chicago born rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer. Growing up in the Fox Valley suburbs, he was raised in a family of pastors which developed his spiritual sensibility in both his approach to music and life. Elton’s musical career was seeded when he was a little one singing in his church choir, influenced by gospel music. As his roots expanded, so did his musical tastes. By the time he was in high school, he discovered Motown soul, funk, and rap which prompted him to write, sing, rap, & record on his own. By the time he was seventeen, he created a band called, “The Art of Cool” mixing hip hop, funk, rock, and r&b.

In 2013, Elton moved to Chicago and joined a community with upcoming musicians and artists which led to collaborations with some of Chicago’s most promising talent. In 2017, Elton recorded two EP’s “Sunshower” and “Side Eye” with artists, the Burns Twins and Bedows. In 2018, he followed up with a debut solo project, “Elevated EP” featuring his hit single, “Callin”. With his music on the rise, Elton supported Chicago rapper & activist, Noname on her 2019 North American “Room 25 Tour”. His songs have aired on Showtime original series, “The Chi” and Amazon Prime’s, “Selah and the Spaces”. Additionally, Elton was a writer & artist at J. Cole’s Dreamville sessions in Atlanta.
