Fans know him as Smoov-E, the sexual conquistador of rap and rock n roll. But “Smoov-E” is only a small exposed plume of smoke that is a mere byproduct of the tumultuous, roaring volcano of artistry that is Eli Meltzer.
Born Eli Rafael Meltzer on Wednesday September 26th, during Tennessee’s famous 1979 electrical storm. The only boy and youngest of four children, Eli enjoyed his first four years of life on the world renowned hippie commune known simply as “The Farm”. A place where life and creativity are paramount, The Farm laid an artistic foundation for the entire Meltzer clan.
After moving to Sebastopol, California, the Meltzer’s saw the creative magnitude within young Eli begin to grow at an alarming exponential rate. His youth was spent researching and absorbing the methods used to create. If he had an interest in something then he was determined to find out who it was made by, how it was made, and then how to replicate it with remarkable precision. This became his obsession and the foundation of his anomalous work ethic. It is widely known the many successful albums, DVDs, and videos produced by Eli’s unfathomable time spent in his laboratory of musical construction. But what goes rather uncelebrated by most of his fans is how he devotes all his waking hours to the production of Art. Most might know that he is now an exquisite pianist, percussionist, guitarist, accordionist, vocalist, and composer, but very few are privy to the depth of Eli’s mastery.
Eli has been quoted saying, with a devilish grin, “What people don’t know is that I have more homemaking skills than most of the females I frequent.” He has taken his incredible drive to absorb and perfect the techniques of his interests to every facet of his life. Eli spent a considerable time in the art of sewing and designing clothes. He also has a ravenous love for baked goods created from scratch. Eli’s taste for paintings and dramatic art pieces drove him to embrace spray painting and stencil work so that he could produce the paintings he always wanted. This is who Eli is, a true artist in every sense of the word, and this is only a glimpse into the wealth of talents he has acquired. His creativity is boundless and his drive is unequaled.
