Career

With all three members born and raised into the New York City music scene they each gained experience as multi-instrumentalists Dave (guitar, bass, keyboards) Matt (trumpet, keyboards) James (drums, keyboards, alto saxophone) at church and for various local bands. After graduating from Glen Cove High school where brothers James and Matt took up music playing for the school band they attended Berklee College of Music on scholarship to study Music Production & Engineering and Music Business. Dave attended Seton Hall and pursued a career as a live musician supporting various artists domestically and overseas and as a guitarist for Estelle.

While at Berklee James caught the attention of producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins and went on to work at his studio compound in Atlantic City, NJ after graduating in 2006. A few years later, Matt returned to New York after graduating from Berklee in 2009 to engineer sessions for various record labels and artists such as Melanie Fiona, Tinashe, Jack Antonoff from the band FUN. In 2011 the trio collectively decided to join forces to work on songwriting and music production as THE ELEV3N.

After reconnecting with former Berklee classmate and friend Nils Gums of The Complex Group in 2012, the team entered into a management agreement with the Complex Group and landed a production deal with Antonio L.A. Reid CEO of Epic Records in addition to a publishing agreement with the world's leading music publisher, Sony/ATV.

THE ELEV3N have had several media and publication features by Billboard Magazine, MTV, CNN, CBS, and work actively between their studio in Manhattan NY, and Los Angeles, CA.
