Elijah Noll is a gifted songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in LA, who has an artist project called American Teeth. Elijah works extensively with Jon Bellion on both Jon’s projects as well as with other artists. Elijah has co-written on recent releases with the Jonas Brothers, Jon Batiste ft. Jon Bellion & Fireboy DML, Nessa Barrett, 5SOS, Bella Poarch, Jackson Wang, &Team, UPSAHL, Royal & The Serpent, Jagwar Twin, and Illenium. Some of Elijah’s recent collaborators include Travis Barker, Andrew Goldstein, Blackbear, Pete Nappi, Tenroc, Sueco, Feli Ferraro, Evan Blair, Daywave, Bludnymph, Jake Torrey, Lil Aaron, JHart, and many more.

Decades before launching his songwriting career, Elijah Noll was nearly a violin prodigy. He started playing at age two or three, and he was serious about the instrument — performing classical and “Scottish fiddle music” as a kid, even on track to audition for Juilliard. Then the guitar and songwriting called his name.

Elijah has a mechanical heart valve, after getting open heart surgery when he was a teenager to replace a faulty valve that he was born with. His music is much the same, fusing organic sounds and shimmering synths; heartfelt lyrics fused with shiny melodies.

PULSE Music Group was built by songwriters/producers for songwriters/producers as a world class incubator and frontline music publisher for culturally impactful songs. In June of this year, PULSE Music Group and Concord also launched a new label, PULSE Records. The venture capitalizes on PULSE Music Group’s ability to invest in the highest levels of creative talent and is led by PULSE Music Group principals Scott Cutler and Josh Abraham, along with Ashley Calhoun, President/Head of Creative supported by Concord’s label services platform and administrative teams.
