Eli Goffa

Eli Goffa is the creation of Elie De Prijcker from Sint-Niklaas (BE). He grew up with his dad's record collection from the sixties and seventies; you can hear that in his fragile but also powerful self-written songs inspired by artists like Michael Kiwanuka, José Gonzales, Daniel Norgren, Ray Lamontagne and many more.

He has been playing guitar from an early age and puts on an impressive performance, which did not go unnoticed when he surprised the jury at the Voice of Flanders (2014), received a standing ovation with his rendition of a Neil Young song and made it to the semifinals.

Eli Goffa has played successful support for, Paul Weller, Hooverphonic, Bent Van Looy and Frances, and played at large and small festivals in Belgium and Holland. His singles made it onto the playlist of Radio 1 and Radio 2 in Belgium and Holland.

At the end of 2017 his first album 'Written in the stars' has been released. He worked on this together with producer David Poltrock. Greg Gordon (USA: Oasis, Nick Cave) and Ward Neirynck (BE: K's Choice, Clouseau) were involved in the final mix. The new album is available both online and on vinyl.

Het Depot (Leuven) appointed him 'Artist In Residence' in 2017.

Eli won the Exposure Music Awards in 2018 and played a showcase in London.
