For a while, he pursues his solo project and his band at the same time, but eventually, ELTO moves to Berlin to dedicate himself fully to his solo career. In the capital city, he meets with countless songwriters and producers and gradually expands his repertoire. A first taste of this repertoire has already been released, his debut single „Break It Off“, a catchy track about an on-and-off love affair. With its nostalgic sound and rock elements, the track reveals quite a bit about ELTO’s early musical influences. „I like music more the organic way,’; he explains about his own unique sound, and continues, “I like music that’s filled with life, that’s emotional and moving, and that – above all – aims for something greater than just landing your next big hit or garnering attention.”
