A former member of Remote Control, and a Ghostwriter for other musicians such as Tom Waits, Craig Elliott was driven to despair by his own perfectionism, and had to take a good, long break… and get to know himself better. He is now more confident as a solo artist, but he takes his craft too seriously to ever be considered as a prospect by major labels… or, maybe, for him to ever consider THEM. He has long been a fan of New Wave music, and often times his voice is compared to Depeche Mode. His song “This Is My Life” spent time making the airwaves in the UK, and was featured on the TV series “Fame UK”. It has also seen new life after being rehashed by other artists, such as Buck 22, who completely re-worked it for the series. Other works he is known for is the bafflingly controversial song “So Powerful”, which got parents up in arms when they mistakenly assumed the song was about drugs (It’s about music) and the more popular “Open Yourself”. More recently, his song “Won’t Sleep Tonight” made it onto a compilation CD that was released in Germany, called “Electropop”. All these songs so far were released while he and his producer Tomas “Dr. Octavo” Brabec were operating under the moniker Remote Control, and although this music is basically Pop, Elliott doesn’t consider himself a pop artist today, having graduated to moody New Wave like Tears For Fears and The Cure, and effervescent Trance that is, so far, completely unique.
