[center][color=ece4d5]skills[/color][/center][sub][sub]♦[/sub] [color=B8C5B3][i]Eli is a great musician and is able to play the Castanets, Harp, Double Bass, Kazoo and Ukulele beautifully. He is also pretty good at editing videos(he had a lot of practice through the years when building up his youtube portfolio).[/i][/color][/sub]
[center][color=ece4d5]gift[/color][/center][sub][sub]♦[/sub] [color=B8C5B3][i]Perfect pitch: From a young age, Eli has always been able to identify and even recreate notes after hearing them. He often uses this ability to break songs down into their different components so that he can make covers of them(usually with a Kazoo).

Additionally, when he plays, whether its with the harp or a kazoo, he always puts his all in it. His feelings, his passion, it always transfers over to his playing. His audience - even if they feel nothing else when listening to him - can always tell how passionate he is as well as how much fun he's having when playing.[/i][/color][/sub]

[indent][color=82a17d]Always smiling, approachable, adventurous, fun-loving. All those words can be used to describe Elliot Davis. Eli lives by the philosophy of living each day to the fullest, he almost never becomes upset and if he does, he usually calms down pretty fast. Every day with Eli is an adventure, if the mood strikes him to do something, he’ll do it, regardless of if that something is jumping into the lake in autumn or just walking barefoot in the rain. He takes great pleasure in the simple joys of life, collecting trinkets to hang on his bag, laughing with a friend, ice-cream on a cold day, making a song his own when playing it…it’s what makes him happy.

Every now and then, usually when he’s alone, he has his moments where he’s quiet and withdrawn, where all he wants is to curl up alone somewhere and watch some old competition footage, but those moods aren’t common and they usually don’t last longer than a few hours to a day. The rest of the time he’s this goofy, up-beat, guy who cares about his friends and has very few inhibitions.

[indent][color=82a17d] His father owned a small music school and his mother made a living off of creating jingles for advertising agencies, so music was always going to play some part in Eliot’s life, but he didn’t truly love it until he saw his sister, Violet, perform at her first recital when he was four. From the very first moment, where she strutted on stage with the biggest smile, to the last note she conjured on the ivories, everything was…magic.

He didn’t even wait until they got home before he started demanding harp lessons, so that he’ll be able to accompany her on stage – three years later, he also added the double bass to his repertoire. It became clear pretty early on, that he had a gift – not only was his pitch perfect, but when he played…the joy he feels while playing, especially when he’s accompanying his sister, it shines through so that everybody could hear.

One day, when he was eleven and his sister was fourteen, they had just finished performing a piece for the qualifiers and was taking their bow when his sister collapsed. After that, one hospital visit led to another until she wasn’t able to leave anymore. Eli did his best to keep a smile on her face, putting a keyboard in her hospital room, learning how to play the ukulele and the kazoo because it made her laugh and he always brought her favorite macarons for her. 

All the cheering up in the world couldn’t cure her though and a month after she turned fifteen, she died. For months the Davis’s were inconsolable, but before she died Violet wrote them letters to be received after her funeral. Eli will always remember what his said;

[i]‘I won’t be able to live or play anymore, so you should make sure to do enough for the both of us!’[/i]

So, he did. He pulled himself together, went out, did things he and Violet always talked about doing but never did, things he always wanted to try but was too scared before. He made memories, collected mementos, laughed, met new people, visited new places, picked up the castanets. He started making videos and posting them on youtube – a lot featured him playing various musical pieces, most was of him making absurd kazoo covers, a few were of something cool/funny and/or interesting he managed to capture on film, all were made because he enjoyed it and wanted to share that feeling with others.

He hasn’t competed since his sister passed. Occasionally he would still do a recital or something, but he only ever accompanied his sister during competitions because he liked playing with her and wanted to do it more often. He never really had any ambitions for fame or renown, he was happy just being able to make music, so he just stopped going to competitions – as a competitor at least.

Going to Wellington Academy wasn’t something that Eli had planned on. He was just browsing the web one day when he came across the school website and decided to fill out the application form on a whim. He didn’t really think that he would make the cut, so it was a surprise when the acceptance letter arrived. His parents knew how exclusive Wellington was, so they didn’t need any convincing and before he knew it he had transferred schools.
