Born in an old brewery, formed in a Leeds basement, and refined since 2019, elkyn is an acute reflection of Joseph Donnelly's beautiful heart. Carefully crafted lyrics erupting with honesty and intricately finger-picked guitars make this Yorkshire-based songwriter's unique brand of music equal measures of affecting, compelling, and deeply addicting.
The Yorkshire songwriter's stirring sophomore release 'if only it was alright now' acted as an impressive bookend for the Beech era landing him a feature on Atwood Magazine's 'Artists to Watch for 2021' citing him as "uniquely visceral and vulnerable". The track also received appraisal from the likes of BBC Introducing, landed a spot on Spotify's 'Fresh Finds' editorial playlist as well as being highlighted on an array of curated playlists.
