Elika completed her third CD, 'Fire and Gold' in January 2008. The CD blends eastern and western musical styles and features a number of languages including English, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese.
Elika’s love of music began when she was a child growing up in Africa. Her music beautifully expresses the diverse cultures that have been a part of her upbringing. Elika considers herself a world citizen; her parents are from Iran, she was born in the US, raised in Kenya, and now lives in China. In between she has lived in Israel and Hong Kong. Her music blends and reflects the influences of this varied background, drawing upon classical Western structures but incorporating instrumentation from Iran to Ireland and China to Spain.
She studied classical piano from the age of five, and its influence can be heard in the stunning instrumental pieces that she began composing when she was in college. It was at the same time that Elika began singing and setting the Baha’i Writings to music. The enchanting “Melodies of the Nightingale” was produced at this time by Elika and two close friends, Michelle Brown and Fiona Doomun-Rouhani. This first CD was followed a few years later by a solo follow-up titled “Melodies of the Nightingale for the Family” produced by Paul Meredith. These two CDs have been sold in more than 25 countries and their stirring melodies and soaring harmonies have inspired people all over the world.
Elika’s greatest hope is that her music will bring joy and upliftment to people around the world.
