Earl Elliot

Quinten De Pauw received a grant to delve deeper into his alt-pop persona Earl Elliot and incorporate new elements into his productions to further develop his sound.

Quinten is a songwriter with a style that is a mishmash of different influences. He combines 2000s indie nostalgia with elements of hyper-pop and R&B. His songs reflect his own coming-of-age, navigating through life and trying to figure out how to grow up, with themes of love and loss. He highlights the duality between growing up in American pop culture and a European childhood. He has been releasing music since summer 2020, sporadically launching singles that always add a new angle to his story. His strong visual style, with videos and images that feel deeply personal, fits seamlessly with each chapter of Earl Elliot's story.
