“I’m Elias Hix. I grew up on a cattle farm in South Carolina. I’m shaped by the south's summers of thick heat and hazy air that are soon followed by the cold of harsh and dry winters that leave the sky empty and hollow. Days from those seasons are trapped in my head, with places I will not go anymore, and names that will not leave my lips.

When I was 15, I wrote a song called “Thinner” — two years later I wrote and produced an album with that song as its title. This album and the projects that followed are the products of the things I do not speak of anymore and the things I’ve grown too scared to say. So I write them in music, disguised within the imagery and metaphors of the place I grew up in. This is the honest truth of my music and I hope it can help you the way it is helping me. Thank you.”
