About
His grandmother took the right hand. He took the left.
Elliott is a British pianist and composer. He grew up in Solihull, picking out songs by ear at four. He trained as a jazz pianist at the Birmingham Conservatoire, was a finalist in BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year and played with Jimmy Cobb in Paris, before turning to quiet, melodic solo piano.
In 2021 Kaleidoscope reached number one on Spotify’s Peaceful Piano playlist. Two albums on Decca followed, Finding Beauty and Night Light.
“I’m just pouring emotion into whatever I do.”Elliott Jack Sansom
