Embarking on a musical odyssey at age 10, Elwood found his calling in the iconic riffs of Guns N’ Roses’ Slash.

While Elwood’s journey has taken him through urban landscapes shaped by his father’s profession as a structural engineer, his heart remains firmly rooted in the melodies of the countryside. Settling in Austin, Texas, he found a city that nurtures his creative soul and emboldens his ambitious aspirations. His moniker pays homage to his visionary grandfather John Elwood Ball, while his cherished 1960s Gibson Dove guitar, a gift from his other grandfather, which now forms the foundation of Elwood’s songwriting. This fusion of past and present defines his identity, shaped by the essence of family, memory, and life experiences.
