ELIAS Launches New Studio in Nashville

Bicoastal music shop ELIAS has expanded, launching its fourth office in Nashville, TN, led by Executive Creative Director Vincenzo LoRusso. Relocating from ELIAS’ headquarters in Santa Monica, LoRusso will continue to oversee the music company’s entire slate of work out of its Santa Monica, New York and recently opened Chicago and Nashville offices. The location serves as a central hub between all ELIAS’ studios, allowing LoRusso greater flexibility to collaborate with his entire national team and growing roster of diverse musical talent in the Nashville area. The expansion will also allow the company to offer a more personal approach to servicing the area’s thriving tech and advertising industries.

Vincenzo re-joined ELIAS in 2010 and has been instrumental in growing its creative team to include talent with diverse backgrounds in composing, producing, engineering and sound design, further expanding ELIAS’ in-house expertise to offer brands creative voices entrenched in the current music space. Prior to that, LoRusso boasts over two decades of experience as a Grammy nominated producer, and mixer working with artists such as Debbi Harry, Perry Farrell, Alex Ebert, Johnny Cash and Joan Osborne as well as members of Cypress Hill and Guns & Roses, among others. Formerly, as creative director and lead composer, he helped launch Massive Music’s West Coast office and led the production team that developed and launched the successful Elias Music Library.

The launch of the Nashville studio comes on the heels of a recent launch of ELIAS’ debut Chicago office.
