Elijah Godson

Kojey Radical

Funny enough, I actually started off playing the Cello around 8 years old but drums was always in my heart. Then one day there was a music clinic in my local community center for drums, bass and guitar. I met a drummer there called Dawne Adams who played for Lionel Richie at the time and she took me under her wing. I learnt so much from her and began to fall in love with drums even more. I then started playing drums at church and kept developing my skills, as I wanted to expand and pursue a career as a professional drummer. Since then Ive kept on building but what fuels me even more is the progression Ive seen in each stage of my career. I have my own studio where I record drums for artists, teach and make content for my YouTube channel. I have also played for a variety of different artists across different genres such as Kojey Radical, Stefflon Don, Yolanda Brown, Aitch, Adekunle Gold, Young T & Bugsey, Nathaniel Bassey, and many more.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    My creativity is inspired mainly by watching live shows and listening to albums that some of my favourite drummers have played on. Especially when I’m in the studio tracking for other people or doing a live show, I always like to listen to other musicians to get inspiration.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    My words of wisdom to the next generation would be to focus on what makes your sound unique by staying true to that. I'd also advise to keep yourself around people who inspire you and push you to be the best version of yourself.
