Elijah Carter
Elijah Carter, known simply as Eli to friends and family, brings a rich emotional depth to R3D3EM’s arrangements, with a signature ability to fuse harmony with atmosphere. Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Eli grew up in a blended family with deep musical roots in both gospel and folk traditions. His journey to faith was marked by a personal season of self-doubt, anxiety and rediscovery. That moment shaped not only his faith but also his sonic style—blending ambient soundscapes with soulful worship melodies.
Eli's layered synths and haunting vocals create a sacred stillness that underpins the group’s more energetic tracks. He’s often the one who slows the room down and brings the group back to center.
Favorite Verse: The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." — John 1:5
Fun Fact: I still carry my granddad’s pocket New Testament whenever I travel. He was the first one who told me I had a gift and to always use it for God’s glory.
