Eli Yacinthe is a songwriter, producer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and bandleader from North Carolina. He channels a wide range of influences from D’Angelo to Marcus King in his playing and writing. His Debut EP “Something Real From The Heart” is a sonic tale of love, sex, and heartbreak. Through his music, he continues to foster a community grounded in love, equality, and peace.

Currently in his seventh semester at Berklee College of Music, Eli spends most of his time between Boston, MA and North Carolina, where he performs, writes, and collaborates. His dynamic six-man live band, featuring a full horn section, brings powerful energy to the stage. Drawing inspiration from the worlds of jazz, R&B, soul, and pop, the band approaches each tune with a unit mentality, creating a unique sound that sets this large ensemble apart. Distinct flavors emerge from this group made up of some of Berklee’s finest musicians.
