EL-TRA!N

EL-TRA!N is a 17-year-old R&B and pop artist from St. Louis, bringing a fresh blend of soulful vocals, electrifying dance moves, and undeniable star power to the music industry. Inspired by icons like Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, Usher, and Bobby Brown, EL-TRA!N channels the energy of timeless entertainers while delivering a modern sound that resonates with today’s audience.

His journey began at Friendly Temple’s Children’s Church, where he was first handed a microphone and never looked back. That moment sparked a lifelong passion for performing, leading him to join the renowned local band Dirty Muggs, where he continues to refine his artistry and stage presence.

In 2023, EL-TRA!N released his debut single “Summertime Fling,” a breakout record that led to him opening for hip-hop legend Doug E. Fresh. He followed up with “The Way” and “Ladies Around the World” featuring Lady O, before releasing his debut EP, The Freshmen Project, in May 2025 — showcasing his growth, range, and artistic identity.

Since then, EL-TRA!N has continued to rise, performing alongside major artists including Gwen Stefani, D Smoke, and AJ McQueen. With a powerful stage presence and a vision that transcends his age, he’s solidified himself as one of the brightest young talents emerging from St. Louis.

Beyond music, EL-TRA!N is also an actor, bringing versatility and charisma to every performance. Whether on stage, in the studio, or on screen, EL-TRA!N is proving he’s not just next up — he’s now.
