Elliot Mason

Musician/Songwriter/Producer/Animator/Comedian

I write and make music/songs/animations for myself and others.

My work has appeared on BBC4, Channel 4, E4, Channel 5, Sky Arts, commercial radio stations, podcasts, and a video game.

I’ve got two cats called Herbert and Arty who like to walk on my keyboard and delete as much work as possible.

I love music/comedy/crisps.
