Calling Elijah have now finished, but you can still listen to our music here and buy it on iTunes. Thanks to everyone who has supported us in any way over the years...you are appreciated....
When you take gutsy rock vocals and punchy rap rhythms, and lay them over a blend of acoustic guitars, keyboards and percussion, you have a sound that is uniquely Calling Elijah.
Marc Hamilton and Andy Dickson joined forces in early 2005 to use their two individual styles to create a sound not heard before in New Zealand. Since then this sound has been heard throughout the country, with Calling Elijah having made 50 appearances a year in 2006/2007, being well received wherever they have played and having extensive radio play on LifeFM.
This radio play has lead to their song “Even If” reaching number 1 on the LifeFM charts and holding it’s position for two weeks, before also clocking in at number 7 in LifeFM’s 2007 top 100 countdown.
Their EP ‘Inside Out’ is a step up from their debut self-titled EP, released in December 2006, and is selling well – making the CD&DVD Store’s top 20 selling Christian artists list in Dec 07 and Jan 08, alongside such artists as Brooke Fraser, The Frey, Lifehouse and Switchfoot.
With a focus on more than musical success, Calling Elijah ensure that their music and performances are filled with encouragement and inspiration, challenging their listeners to become all they can be.
Marc's influences include Lifehouse, Nickelback, Switchfoot, Matchbox20 and Shawn McDonald.
AndyD's influences include P.O.D., Mat Kearney, Linkin Park and Will Smith.
