Life and career

ElyOtto was born in 2004, and raised in Calgary, Alberta. In 2020, ElyOtto started a musical career, creating and uploading songs to SoundCloud. Their debut single "SugarCrash!" was released in August 2020, followed by the single "Teeth!". "SugarCrash!" went viral on TikTok after ElyOtto posted a video using the song to the platform a week after its release. In 2021, more than 5 million videos have been created using the song. It reached 85 million Spotify listens and a No. 1 spot on the streaming juggernaut’s U.S. Viral 50 playlist in February.

Due to the success of the "SugarCrash!", they secured a contract with RCA Records.

Their debut EP was due for release later in 2022. In April 2021, a remix of "SugarCrash!" featuring Kim Petras and Curtis Waters was released. Their single "Profane" was released in August 2021, followed by the single "Stalker" also released in 2021.

In April 2022, ElyOtto released their debut album Hellscape Suburbia.

In July 2023, ElyOtto released their second album Miscarriage of a Wildhorse, and they followed up shortly with an EP, Happy Together at the Convenience Stores.

They have 1.6 million Spotify monthly listeners, and “SugarCrash!” stands at 350 million streams. They also continue to release eclectic singles on SoundCloud.
