Details:
A. Traynor a.k.a Ellaydee, was a Los Angeles based kid with ambitions to move on and live life to the fullest. After growing up, Andrew left L.A. & decided to head more south down the coast of Beautiful Sunny California to San Diego, where he resides. Raised up in the L.A. Hip Hop scene, even interning at High Top Hip Hop Associations and working with artists such as the Visionaries, Andrew learned greatly. Raised up on artists such as Mos Def to a Tribe called Quest all the way to Bob Dylan's Guitar driven folk rock and incredible lyrical merit, and even influenced by The Clash, Ellaydee was formed to bring Incredible Music, an amazing Live Show with Great songs, Proffesionally structured with undeniable hooks. Their based Hip Hop is definently original with Real Time Overdubs of Live guitar driven funk & Rock.

Ellaydee was derived from the Initials: L.A.D. (Los Angeles Drew)

"We think Hip Hop music is more to just rapping and a drumbeat.. We always think what's good for the song in general, that's why we play our own guitars and instruments on our songs. We make sure that guitar is a big part of driving our songs but also held down with the 1's and 2's.. All & always Original. We were all raised on Rock, Hip Hop, R&B, Pop, etc. and artists Like The Temptations, Earth, Wind, & Fire, Bobby Caldwell, Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye, & Al Green, who have a big impact on us in shaping & developing our music. Life tribulations & emotions all play a role in the songs. We program and record it ail all ourselves, Rarely will you hear sampling from us, and we think that's what makes us special, it's all real." -Ellaydee

Ellaydee was a vison & friendship formed over the course of the year 2004-2005. During College, A.Traynor and R.Ware had met in an Audio Multirack Class, an Emphasis in Media Communications that was essential for Communication Majors. After becoming friends and discovering both the common interest of music and recording, they then got to know one another. One day after a session in Audio, the two decided to go grab a drink at Andrew's House in Ocean Beach, California. Roland then discovered Books upon Books filled with beautifully written lyrics and poems tucked away in the corner of Andrew's room, the lyrics were filled with modern amazing writing, but yet such urban content that people can relate to, just mesmorizing. As Roland then read the lyrics he was grabbed emotionally and physically to find that these lyrics were something, not just anything out of the normal. Roland then asked Drew, "What is this??" Andrew then replied, "Oh, ever since I was 17 yrs.old I have been just writing lyrics and ryhmes off the top of my head." Roland then replied, "Are you serious??! I have been recording & programming beats ever since I was a kid in High School, and all the beats I have made have no MC's on them, I have like 22 beats waiting to be recorded on! You want to do this??" Andrew then replied with, "F*** Yeah!" So thus began the Development of ELLAYDEE.
