Elevate Music was founded by Kim Revie and Rachael Bee in June 2022 to sign and develop emerging talent. Privately funded and completely independent, the label aims to offer fair and transparent artist deals and an alternative road to success.
Born in Nigeria and raised in Nottingham, JERUB has achieved incredible milestones since signing to Elevate Music two years ago, amassing over 70 million streams, releasing two EPs, gaining major support from BBC Radio 1, Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, and Amazon Music, as well as playlists at over 200 regional radio stations. JERUB has captivated audiences with his sold out headline tours alongside support slots across the UK and Europe for notable artists including, JP Cooper, Tom Walker and more recently Victor Ray. JERUB has also had an incredible list of TV moments including opening the King’s Coronation Concert on BBC1 with Pete Tongs’ Heritage Orchestra, performing his stand out single ‘There Till The End’ for Children In Need, Who Dares Wins Awards, Comic Relief and D Day on BBC1. JERUB’s naturally effortless style is part of his authentic appeal.“He looks like a star already” is high praise from anyone, let alone from fellow vocal powerhouse Tom Grennan. Listeners have likened the relatability of JERUB’s hits to Tom, as well as Myles Smith, Teddy Swims and Lewis Capaldi. His undeniable ability to seamlessly blend personal, revelatory songwriting with alluring, chart-ready production has put JERUB firmly en route to mainstream success.
