Eluv
Born and educated in Melbourne, Australia, Eluv's eclectic and diverse musical expression and style has been greatly influenced by her Egyptian, Greek, and French heritage.
While in Australia training for a National Power lifting Competition, she was discovered by American documentary film producer George Butler, who was filming the sequel to his movie "Pumping Iron" with Arnold Schwarzenegger. George recruited Eluv for "Pumping Iron-The Women" and brought her to the United States to continue filming.
After completing the film, she decided to stay in New York City, and pursue her love of singing, songwriting and acting. In New York, Eluv performed as a cast member regularly on “Saturday Night Live”, and worked as a personal fitness trainer and masseuse with clients such as Grace Jones, Herbie Hancock, and Dolph Lundgren.
Searching for Sunshine and nature, Eluv moved to Florida, where she began collaborating with other producers, landing a Billboard charting radio hit with her song “Fever" produced by Platinum record producer, George Acosta. Eluv performs live shows with Grammy award winning Indian Santur maestro Nandkishor Muley, in his fusion ensemble Maitri. Blending the best of both worlds, the group presents a refreshing and powerfully dynamic fusion of East meets west.

“Sharing love and healing through music is my mission, no matter what style of music I am singing or composing, my intent is to emanate love, positivity and healing vibrations” With this intent infused into her whole being, Eluv’s quest to spread love through her words and music continues to manifest in every way, every day. ““I love taking people on a musical journey either through my live DJ mixes, live music performances or through music I compose” “It’s all about love and opening our hearts” “Music is my vehicle for sharing universal love and light, with others.” “Music is a universal language that transcends time and place.” “It is the language of love, and love is our true essence.” “ It is a powerful vehicle able to bring people together as one, in joyful peace, unity, love and harmony.” “To me, music is the most powerful universal medicine we have.” “Music is able to dissolve illness into awareness and health, and quickly shift the mood of even the most unhappy person.” “The experience of simply enjoying music can bring profound shifts within ones cellular matrix and whole being energetically.” “Music is the medicine of our future.”
