Elyar Fox is a singer-songwriter who started putting out music in Los Angeles around the mid-2010s. His 2017 single 'Stitches' got some attention online and landed on the Billboard Hot 100, a song about heartbreak that people seemed to connect with. He followed that with a debut EP called 'Sick' in 2018. Some of his other tracks include 'Blank Space (Resposta)' and a cover of 'Rather Be'. He's listed as having worked with artists like Halsey and Marshmello, though the details of those collaborations aren't specified here.
