Elan Wayne Thunderfeet grew up in Ontario. At the age of 15 he was inspired to write his own hip-hop lyrics. From the beginning he had a natural gift and love for the craftmanship of hip hop, and this only continued to deepen as he learned and studied the masters of the genre. He frequently uploaded tracks to Youtube, gaining thousands of views as he developed his skill and sound. As he matured his music took on a more personal tone. It became a safe outlet, to reflect on his life and his place in the world.

In 2016 Thunderfeet recorded, and released a string of EPs in a six-month span; Lucid Insanity, The Inner Light, and Death is Unity. They’re intensely raw and paint a portrait of a person struggling to find their place in the world but they gave the world a taste of what is to come. Over the past few years, his music has undergone many shifts and changes but has always stayed true to his authentic self-expression.

In the fall of 2016, Elan moved to Victoria BC. Shortly after he began performing his music for the first time. He worked his way up from performing at open mics to fundraisers and private events, eventually performing at OtherWorld Festival, Raw Artist’s Stellar Showcase at Capital Ballroom, and the Extinction Rebellion Global Climate Strike Victoria in 2019. Even though he was rarely able to perform during the pandemic, Elan continued to grow musically and developed his style further before returning to the stage at Leo Fest 2021, Fourth Cycle Music Festival 2021, and Otherworld 2022, 2023 & 2024.

Thunderfeet continues to perform regularly with dozens of shows at Lucky Bar, the Victoria Events Centre, and other venues. Including opening for Canadian music legend K-os at Capital Ballroom Victoria, and opening for the celebrated independent BC hip-hop artist, and long-time inspiration: Junk.

He continues to release new music and has several projects in the works, including many singles, three upcoming EPs, and a full-length album: Purpose > Everything.

As a writer, Elan Wayne Thunderfeet has been creating stories since he was a child, and his deep love for storytelling has blossomed into a passion for writing stories that offer insight, and solace to the readers. His creative fiction often explores the depth of the human experience and our relationship to the world around us and the future ahead of us. His influences include Joseph Campbell, Carlos Castaneda, Brandon Sanderson, Frank Herbert, Jack Kerouac, and many more. This has culminated in his first full-length novel; The Fall of Decadence. It is a tale of finding safety, and meaning in a decaying world, and the first two chapters are available to read for free in the writing section.

Since completing the Fall of Decadence, Elan Wayne Thunderfeet has written another novel; Operation: Awakening. Operation: Awakening is a psychedelic parable of transformation in a post apocalyptic city at the end of the world, and will be released in early 2025.
