Elliot Schwartzman is a singer-songwriter and accomplished sideman musician. He’s toured the world with the likes of Imagine Dragons, Dwight Yoakam, and Zendaya on the Keyboards, Guitar, Vocals, Mandolin, Fiddle and Pedal Steel Guitar. As a solo artist, he crafts songs that are honest, melodic, and emotionally grounded, drawing listeners in with strong storytelling and a clear, expressive voice. As an in-demand sideman Elliot is known for his musical sensitivity, adaptability, and professionalism.
Elliot was raised in Western New York but like many artists at a young age migrated west across the US to the sunny promise land of Los Angeles, CA where he developed a full time career as a working musician. He has performed across a wide range of styles and settings, supporting other artists both live and in the studio while also developing a catalog of his own rooted in American Folk music. His ability to serve the song—whether through feel, tone, or restraint—has made him a trusted collaborator, valuable presence on stage, and compelling artist to listen to alike.
Equally comfortable leading a project or contributing from the side, Elliot brings intention and musicianship to everything he plays and is involved with. Whether fronting his own material or helping another artist’s vision come to life, his focus remains the same: making music that connects.
