Young talent often brings a fresh and innovative perspective to their field. They have yet to be exposed to the same constraints and limitations that more experienced individuals might have encountered, allowing them to think outside the box and propose new ideas and approaches. Young talent tends to be more adaptable and open to change.
I had the chance to chat it up with young actor and musician Elliott Fullam. Fullam has had a deep passion for alternative music his whole life. I found it astonishing that from the age of nine, Elliott has been the host of Little Punk People, a music interview show on YouTube. Fullam has chatted with James Hetfield of Metallica, J Mascis, Ice-T, and Jay Weinberg of Slipknot, to name a few. Fullam’s new album, End of Ways, just released and focuses on the experiences of a loved one who recently escaped an abusive household.
“End of Ways is a uniquely challenging and intimate record. Written for and about a dear loved one’s recent escape from an abusive living situation, the album is about finding peace in the face of trauma and violence; in the end, it is about the love and compassion that makes survival possible in the face of a terrible situation. A mix of home recordings and studio productions, the album maintains Fullam’s stark and sparse arrangements, with light guitars and layered vocals expanded upon by occasional piano flourishes courtesy of Jeremy Bennett. The album sees Fullam continuing to grow as an artist, with a cohesive and precise set of songs that see him delving into the depths of tragedy. A remarkably mature statement from this burgeoning voice in contemporary indie folk.”

In addition to his musical talents, many horror enthusiasts will recognize Elliott as an actor from his starring role as Johnathan in the bloody hit horror film Terrifier 2, which was released last year. Elliot can also be recognized from the Apple TV children’s show Get Rolling With Otis.
Between his music and acting career, Fullam has a bright future ahead of himself, and I cannot wait to see what he creates next! During our chat, we discussed his taste in music, his family’s [taste], the first instrument Elliott learned to play, his new album, and the experience that inspired its conception, Terrifier 2, and, of course, a lot more!
