Elliot Waite
Elliot Neil Waite is an American music producer and internet entrepreneur. His genres include hip hop, R&B, pop, and electronic music. Elliot co-founded and is currently the co-CEO of Jee Juh with long term friend Mike Lightner.
Elliot grew up in Santa Cruz, CA, playing drums in a rock band. In high school he started experimenting with digital production, and a new passion for hip hop encouraged him to produce his own original beats and record songs. He continued to explore music production, taking classes in digital recording and music theory, while pursing an undergraduate degree in engineering. Academics, though, were a distraction from his true passion for music, and he left college to pursue music full time. He moved to LA and started working as a mixing engineer in a recording studio. Then in 2006 he founded JeeJuh.com with Mike Lightner, and has been producing instrumental music for artists worldwide ever since.
