Eli Moore on SoundBetter

I've worked across the globe playing piano, keys and B3 with performers from Broadway and West End, jazz cats from New York and LA and gospel and RnB players from Nashville and Down South. From reading, playing by ear and improvising since I was a child I have a lifetime of absorbed musical influences to share with YOUR music - so let's go!

I believe most of all in taste and appropriateness in piano/keyboard accompaniment. As a songwriter and singer myself, I'm a fan of supportive accompaniments that sustain musical interest and honor the song. Sometimes that means making a simple, warm bed for a ballad, or brightening up empty space with interesting harmonizations. Sometimes a song needs some kick-ass organ or a killing synth solo, and I'm up for finding what that special sauce is.

I can work in nearly every genre! I've studied classical as a child and basically every decade of popular music. Aided by my studies during my college days (Bachelor of Music in Jazz from the University of Auckland) I've brought my skills to jazz big bands, 50s rock'n'roll groups, piano quintets, country, blues and funk bands, jazz trios and modern musical pit orchestras. I've produced salsa, hip hop, synthwave and 80s hair metal and haven't found my versatility to know any bounds.

I have the experience of playing literally thousands of shows with little to no rehearsal, across genres and across the world. My deep knowledge of genre and style, and particularly my studied knowledge of jazz, sets me apart from those who merely dabble in other kinds of music.

My passion is to create great music, and I look forward to combining that passion with yours.

    Had the pleasure of working with Eli again.

    One of the most important things for me as an engineer and an artist, is to establish a connection with the people I work it, and I defiantly felt that with Eli

    Eli is an incredible musician , yet extremely humble and friendly. He knows that he wants and he is very easy to work with. Really professional as well.

    Thanks Eli!
