Elliot Astur

Elliot Astur is a Manhattan-based singer-songwriter with a flair for the piano and pop-rock; infusing them both with a subtle but vibrant touch of the 80s. Classic and iconic artists like Billy Joel and Elton John easily come to mind but don’t think Astur’s music is stuck in one decade or on one generation. Contemporaries like David Cook, Ben Folds and Lifehouse are big influences as well. Honest, candid, storytelling songs that reflect the emotions and elements we encounter every day. "A good song, or idea for one, always affects me emotionally and I hope that my songs affect others in that way too. The combination of lyrics and music needs to make you feel something. If I can achieve that, then I know I’m successful as a songwriter and artist.”
