Singer, actor, dancer, recording artist, author, and host Elijah Rock has long been dedicated to not only keeping the legacy of The Great American Songbook alive but also breathing new life into its cherished melodies. The Cleveland-born NAACP Theater Award winner has been praised by LA Jazz Scene for his “swinging style and large voice [recalling] Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole.” Drawing inspiration from the world of jazz and classical, Rock showcases his exceptional vocal artistry, profound musicality, and passion while paying homage to a classic era of music.

Elegant attire is encouraged.

As an Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health, Elijah aims to bridge the gap between Music, Arts, Science, and Technology. He aspires to become a leader in driving music-related dementia research, equity, public awareness, and brain health philanthropy in the USA and around the world.
