Yonatan Elkayam

as ELLIOT

Yonatan Elkayam is an artist born and raised in Los Angeles. His first passion has always been music, propelled forward by studying jazz upright bass and eventually fronting his original project LKYM as the song writer/lead singer/bass player/harmonica player. His passion for music production led him to studying sound engineering which developed his palette further, inspiring him to become a record producer and film/tv composer. In 2017 he took on the challenge of writing and directing three cinematic story driven music videos for his group LKYM, which led him to a newly found love for acting. Initially a way to become a better director, Yonatan discovered that he had a real passion and talent for acting, and has been completely immersed into developing the craft. With a couple of credits already under his belt, including a commercial and a co-star on an upcoming tv show, Nerve is Yonatan's debut performance as a theatre actor.          www.lkymtheband.com
