Early life

Elias grew up in a family environment, with his father, Javier Irigoyen, as his manager since the beginning of his career, and his mother, Viviana Soto, as his costume designer. It was precisely this close relationship with his parents that inspired him to merge their names to create his stage name.

Career

At the age of 17, Elias founded and led Midnight Dreamers, an English-language pop band that stood out for receiving international recognition, reaching the finals of the International Songwriting Competition, and for their performances on renowned stages in cities such as Miami, Boston, Washington, New York, and Los Angeles. In 2021, however, the band disbanded, as Elias decided to pursue his solo career and explore new musical opportunities.
Elias made his solo debut on 17 June 2022, with his single "Desconoci2", which was highly successful in Bolivia and Latin America. This pop song accumulated more than 300,000 views on YouTube and 200,000 plays on Spotify, in addition to going viral on TikTok and other platforms. Its success is partly attributed to his outstanding performance at Respira Bolivia Vol 2 on 3 September 2022, which went viral on social media.
In March 2023, Elias reached the final of the International Songwriting Competition with his song "Desconoci2", facing thousands of composers from around the world, standing out as a finalist in the Latin category. Although he did not manage to place in the top positions, he received a well-deserved honorable mention for his outstanding participation.
In early February 2024, Luis Vega and Elias released the song "Voy a Desaparecer", a heartbreak song that quickly became the most listened to in all of Bolivia. This success took it to number one in YouTube trends, accumulating more than 1 million views in less than two weeks. In addition, the song managed to enter the Top 100 of Apple Music Bolivia and appear in the Top Virales of Spotify Bolivia, surpassing renowned artists in the industry. The song was later recognized at the Bolivia Music Awards 2024, where it won the awards for Best Song of the Year and Best Collaboration.
