Best described as atmospheric modern rock, Element i is a blend of haunting melodies, passionate vocals and driving music. Formed in 2000, Element i honed their writing and performing skills in various clubs in the midwest. After much soul-searching and discussions, the band decided to follow it's collective heart and venture into the Christian music field. Lyrically, the band has always been there, just never advertised as such.
Lawrence Adams, the groups vocalist, sets the band apart with his thought-provoking lyrics and emotional vocal performances. Patrick Disney brings his creative ethereal style of guitars and keyboards into the mix. Ron Bowman's precise and powerful drum attack push the band's sound.

Bio

"What's with the name? Well, it describes who we are and what we're about. The definitions of the words element and i read like this;

Element: The state or sphere natural or suited to a person or thing.
I: Someone aware of possessing a personal individuality. Self.

Playing together, we all felt as though we were "in our element". From the beginning things were natural and comfortable. And yet we each are different in many ways and bring our individual likes, tastes and influences together to create something a little different than most of the music in the rock scene today. We wanted a name that described that feeling. "

Element i is a Cincinnati based band that combines influences, such as Radiohead, Jeff Buckley and Pink Floyd, to create an atmospheric, alternative rock sound that drifts through melodic and emotional arrangements to more aggressive, modern rock pieces.

Lawrence Adams is the mastermind behind it all. His atmospheric guitars, haunting lyrics, vocal performance and song writing abilities are the essence of what Element i is all about. Chris Hudson, who has worked with Adams on other projects, holds down the low end on bass guitar, while Patrick Disney lends his guitar skills where needed to add texture and overall body to complete the mix.
