Eli Brunelle is a rising force in today’s music scene — a multi-talented musician whose passion, versatility, and drive have already set him apart. With deep roots in performance, composition, and collaboration, Eli blends experience with innovation to craft a sound that’s fresh, emotional, and unmistakably his own.
Eli’s musical journey began at just eight years old with classical vocal training through the Minnesota Boychoir. That early foundation sparked a love for music that would lead him across genres and continents — performing as a vocalist in Spain, France, and the U.S., and developing a global artistic perspective.
As a student at Berklee College of Music’s prestigious Aspire program, Eli further expanded his talents as a bassist. His songwriting stood out, earning him a coveted spot in the Singer-Songwriter Showcase with his original track “Love on Your Mind.”
Now, under his solo project Eli Brunelle, he’s capturing ears and hearts with a sound that fuses pop, soul, funk, and jazz influences. His debut album, April, marks a major milestone — a deeply personal and sonically rich collection featuring standout tracks like “Do You Wrong” and “All Night Long.” It follows earlier singles such as “Cherry,” “New Love,” and “NTNY,” which introduced listeners to Eli’s gift for melodic hooks, poetic lyrics, and lush arrangements.
