Hello and Welcome
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Georges Elchakieh and I am the CEO of el-live Productions. I would like to welcome you to our website and our world to give you a brief history of who we are, what we do and why we are doing it. We are NOT your typical talent agency.
Montreal
I have been a professional musician for over 25 years working full time as a drummer and a front man. I started out in Montreal where I created my first band “According To Roger” in 1986 while attending the music program at Concordia University. Montreal, being one of the most musically diverse cities in North America, gave me the ability to grow and play almost every night with musicians from all over the world.
Experience the world
After 10 years of working full time and no less than five nights a week, I started looking for opportunities to expand my horizon and try something totally new. I opted to get a gig abroad and what a great decision that turned out to be. Music has taken me all over the world, from places like Bangkok to Spain to Dubai to Hong Kong, just to name a few.
