International rising superstar Elidjah Diallo, is making his wildest dreams come true. Recently signing to music mogul Tony Mercedes, this young lad, has a very bright future.

Tony Mercedes, who most recently won a Grammy award for Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You,” saw something special in Diallo and wasted no time signing him. Not knowing a word of English he relocated to America, and has been living out his wildest dreams every since.

Diallo has the perfect machine backing him, with Mr. Mercedes having already sold an impressive 27 million records. As he is currently working on his “Kill It For Me” single, I had the pleasure of catching up with him for a quick Q&A session.

Check it out below!

Respect: How would you best describe your sound?

Elidjah: Pop with an Island blend to it

Respect: Has has life changed for you since signing with Mr. Tony Mercedes?

Elidjah: What was once a dream is now looking closer to being a reality. I’m learning so much about the music business. Feels kind of good to have people walk up to me and say ” hey I really like your video”.

Elidjah: For the record I think all artist are unique. I think my French and Belgium upbringing kid of separates me from the rest. If you ask my mom she would say it’s my long hair and 6’2″ft model type body.
