ElyOtto says, “I never thought my own song could sound this good. Kim and Curtis added so much energy to it, it gives me goosebumps every time I listen.”

Kim Petras says, “I heard “SugarCrash!” and, like anyone who’s ever been on TikTok, had it on repeat for a while. When ElyOtto reached out I immediately said yes, wrote the verse, and sent it in. And ElyOtto loved it. I love ElyOtto as an artist and feel really proud to be a part of this.” 

Elliott Platt, the 17-year-old singer, songwriter and producer from Calgary, Canada known as ElyOtto, has taken the internet by storm with his insanely catchy earworm of a song “SugarCrash!” which has reached #11 on the TikTok Viral Charts and has garnered over 8M creations. The hyperpop bop has bounced off the platform and is a streaming juggernaut with 100M streams on Spotify to date, peaked at #43 on the Spotify U.S. chart and reached No. 1 on Spotify’s U.S. Viral 50 playlist in February.

About Curtis Waters:

21-year-old Curtis Waters was born in Nepal and migrated to Germany, then relocated to Calgary when he was a child. Eventually he and his family settled in North Carolina at age 17, where he currently lives with his parents and younger brother. Growing up, Curtis resorted to finding interests online and focusing on his creative endeavors as an escape from suburban life and his own mental health struggles. His love of writing poetry and doing graphic design as a kid evolved into teaching himself how to make beats and produce music using YouTube tutorials. He first started earning money at 14 by selling his beats to artists he met on Soundcloud, until Curtis eventually realized he should work on his own musical projects. Inspired by Kanye, Tyler, the Creator and Odd Future, Curtis started writing, producing and engineering his own tracks and releasing them online, quickly catapulting himself to this most current and exciting place in his burgeoning musical career. Now, with a critically acclaimed debut album  PITY PARTY’ and millions of global streams under his belt, Curtis is working on new music that he plans to release very soon while continuing his pursuit in shaking the status quo.
