Ellinor Miranda Salome Olovsdotter (born 8 October 1985), better known by her stage name Elliphant, is a Swedish singer, songwriter and rapper. Elliphant's sound was initially created together with the Swedish production duo Jungle, which consists of Tim Deneve and Ted Krotkiewski.[1] The music they created together caught the attention of TEN Music Group, to which Elliphant signed in 2011.[2]

Life and career

Early life and career beginnings

Elliphant was born Ellinor Miranda Salome Olovsdotter in Stockholm, Sweden.[3][4] In 2011, Elliphant was at a party in Paris when she met producer Tim Deneve, who needed someone that could sing and help him with his demos. Six months later, she signed to TEN Music Group.[5]

Elliphant released her debut single "Tekkno Scene" in 2012. The track, which features rapper Adam Kanyama, was positively received and was featured in the video game FIFA 13.[6] The song earned comparisons to M.I.A. and Diplo.[7][8] In October 2012, Elliphant released her eponymous debut extended play on A Bigger Splash Records, including the singles "Tekkno Scene" and "Down on Life".[9]

Following the release of her first EP, Elliphant stated in an interview with Idolator in July 2013 that she had signed to Dr. Luke's label Kemosabe Records and that her Swedish debut studio album would be titled A Good Idea.[10] The album was released in her native Sweden on 9 October 2013,[11] and features a number of artists and producers, including Swedish duo Niki and the Dove, who are featured on the track "More Fire".

2014–present: Look Like You Love It, One More and Living Life Golden

Elliphant released her second EP, titled Look Like You Love It, in April 2014 via Kemosabe Records and Mad Decent, featuring production from Dr. Luke, Diplo, Skrillex and Dave Sitek.[12] It was followed by yet another EP, One More, in October, whose title track features Danish singer MØ.[5] Elliphant was one of the opening acts on Charli XCX's Girl Power North America Tour in September and October 2014.[13]

In early July 2015, it was announced that Elliphant's second studio album and North American debut album, Living Life Golden, would be released on 25 September by Kemosabe Records.[14] However, it was reported in late August 2015 that the album's release had been pushed back to an unspecified date.[15] In December 2015, it was announced that the album would be released on 25 March 2016.[16]
