Many families have bonds of similar interests. For Elliot and Elyscia Jefferson, their common bond is in the love of music. From singing, composing and producing; the father-daughter duo are a perfect hit together. “When I was six years old, I would practice playing music and songs I’ve heard all day long. So much so my parents purchased a new piano for me, and invested in music lessons,” recalls Elliot. So it’s no surprise that his very own daughter acquired an interest and talent in music. “I remember my dad working in his basement studio and just hearing music being created. It was nice to listen to and try to sing along. From there I just kept getting deeper into music and exploring it on my own,” says Elyscia.

“I look for hunger in artists that I work with to make sure they have a vision and are not just doing this as a quick hobby or something to just try,” continues Elliott. Well Elliot definitely found this “musical hunger” in his very own daughter. Despite having similar interests in music the duo varies in their creative zone. Elliot prefers to set an ambiance with mood and strobe lights while Elyscia prefers to simply freestyle over a beat to lead to a whole song.

Aside from working on Elyscia’s new project, the family would love to work with music greats such as Brandy, Lucky Daye and Chris Brown. “My dream is to collaborate with Chris Brown and Lucky Daye. I just feel like their writing skills and melody choices are so alike to mine,” says Elyscia. “I know if we worked together, we would produce some phenomenal music together,” says Elliot of working with Brandy.

So it’s clear that the music note hasn’t fallen far from the sheet music with these two musicians. Family matters with one beat and lyric at a time for the Jefferson family. Their bond stands through the test of time in song as they move to the beat of their own drum. Stay tuned for more great hits from the duo.
