We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Elesel Hollow. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Elesel below.

Elesel, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?

The biggest risk I’ve taken, is choosing this life of music and entertainment permentaly…. I went from working, bouncing around jobs, getting paid under the table, bussing tables, making sandwiches….to a point where I knew, I felt it in my soul what and who I wanted to be, and to be remembered as. I jumped all in, put music at my number one focus, I’ve lost girlfriends, friends, family due to this dream, they believed I could achieve such an outlandish dream……of building more than just a music group…..building a brotherhood, a feeling of community, loyalty all in one, a place for the lost, the broken, the misunderstood, we have heads in Hollow that all have completely different faiths, beliefs, and practices, but all still lifting each other up. I started hollow when I had nothing, when I felt and knew inside I didn’t belong anywhere, I failed at everything in my life except music, I noticed I kept getting better and learning after every failure. It just clicked……. Since I didn’t fit anywhere, I took part and built a place where I knew I belonged, but I couldn’t have done it alone without the family I made along the way, SyN, DC, Miss Hollow, Kirko, Boonedoc (Trap), all of them took time with me to build this, we gave up everything, barely hung onto jobs, in and out of shelters and living out of my car. I currently still live out of my car, but we all keep going to share our art with the world, and always learn, cus this is the way of Hollow

Elesel, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

What got me into the music industry?
Well I grew up listening heavy to hip-hop n music, the way the rhythm hit the ear and the rhymes fit in a smooth pocket always fascinated me, I started hanging around local street rappers and trynna freestyle in circles, went by the alias “Greasy G” at the time until I decided to start doin stuff from home, made a SoundCloud n went by “CIGG” didn’t last long tho, life happened sent me downhill, after about 6 months of trynna get back on my feet I had a name I made during that time a mix of letter of my legal name and formed the new name, which will be soon my new legal as “Lupin S Liagon”. Made music under that from 2021-2023, I guess technically to now to, cus my name is Elesel which is L-S-L for Lupin S Liagon. But everyone calls me El now……but onto what we provide, A Haven, a safe community for those who feel like they don’t belong anywhere, like their lost with no help, for the black sheep, the broken, the hopeless, we’re here to lift and inspire and open the eyes of as many people as we can accross the globe….. What makes us different? We’re not a rap group, yes we make hip-hop, but we also make multi genre music, we make video, voice overs, editing, animation, we’ve published one book so far, goal is Music, Movies, Teachings, Shows, All things Entertainment.

I am most proud of my whole family, my unit, every artist that I’ve worked with that’s pushed to keep making their dreams come true, I believe in them to fullest, their what keeps me going every moment, I’m extremely proud of the Family that Hollow has become

I want our viewers, fans, fellow hollows to know, that no matter where you are in the world, Hollow is with you, you don’t have to be alone in a world that’s falling, well help show you that there’s always light when there is dark
