HELLSCAPE SUBURBIA



Elliott Ferrous-Martin Platt (born February 24, 2004), known professionally as ElyOtto, is a musician from Calgary, Canada. His music is a blend of EDM, hyperpop and folk-punk. He is best known for his song SugarCrash!, which went viral on TikTok in early 2021. Elliott was born in 2004 to parents with musical background, and was raised in Calgary, Canada. After getting fired from his job at a pet store in Calgary in spring 2020, ElyOtto committed his time to working on songs and uploading them to SoundCloud. His first upload on Soundcloud was an EDM remix of SpectralouS’s “Visions”, published March 31, 2018. His debut single SugarCrash! was released in August 2020. He followed this with his single Teeth!. SugarCrash! went viral on TikTok after ElyOtto posted a video using the song to the platform a week after its release, and he was soon signed to RCA Records. His debut EP was due for release later in 2022. In April 2021, a remix of SugarCrash! featuring Kim Petras and Curtis Waters was released. His single Profane was released in August 2021. ElyOtto's music can been described as hyperpop and pop. He has called his own music sweet flashy runway pop or evil crusty I've-been-dead-since-1836 pop, and has described hyperpop as a very trans sounding genre where you can manipulate your voice and use all these crazy flashy synths that still feels authentic because of the lyrics. His lyrics often revolve around his gender dysphoria and queer identity, and he regularly uses Auto-Tune on his vocals. Spin referred to ElyOtto as the face of hyperpop in April 2021.
