Elijah Preyer also known As “Hot$pot” born November 27,1991 raised In a small town Wappingers Falls, New York As a Kid he was very quiet And Shy Until one day in 7th Grade he decided to start writing music by 8th he was already recording music. Why Hot$pot? Because one day back in 8th grade his friends were fooling around and acting like they were super heroes and Hotspot was an actual character From The Show: Teen Titans He Was the only Guy in the show and he was the only one left for him to pick at the time Elijah needed a stage name so when he got the name “Hotspot" from simply just playing around and he stuck with it Later on spelled it slightly different “Hot$pot” instead of an “S” Hotspot is a Solo Artist working mainly by himself. By The Year of my freshman year in 2006 Elijah stopped making music because of the people making fun of him and thinking maybe he wasn’t meant for this. WRONG! By 2007 he returned back to making music and working 3 times as hard for hours every day he would practice in his room til he got better at what he loves. At the time while he lived in Germantown Maryland and ran into a guy by the name of KJ Trotter. He taught me everything Elijah needed to know about Music. From that point on he knew he was committed to what he truly wanted to do along with the success came even more hatred towards Elijah because he was branching away from all the other music artist in his area his music was beginning to get played & downloaded more than everybody else’s music. Starting from the Bottom Going from bad Lyrics being off beat and a ten Dollar Microphone to Changing that all to having a professional Microphone to becoming a lot better at everything. In the Year of 2008 Elijah was making music still but this time it was different he was still trying to find out who he really was what he was really good at doing when he creates  music. By the year 2009 after everything he’s been through and all the 100’s of songs he made Elijah soon figured out who he was really Elijah is NOT a Gangster He’s a Sweetheart and his heart went into his Music Making Love Song after Love Song Recording his life on a Microphone. By the year of 2009 Elijah’s Fan base Increased Dramatically over 200,000 Fans and over 15 Million Plays on MySpace. He Knew he had a great net buzz but he needed something even more than that he needed to promote his music more but how? He came with the idea to would burn Cd’s sometimes giving them out for free or sometimes even selling them out of my backpack in school. He sold so many copies he was actually able to buy his whole studio. At one point his computer was destroyed because of a virus he couldn’t record music for six months. The struggle to create music didn’t stop he would write his links to my music websites on pieces of paper and hand them out to friends & to people he didn’t even know one way or another Elijah was going to get my music heard. By the year of 2010 the famous website “Myspace” died Elijah was in need to continue to get his voice heard across the world so he quickly switched over to the other websites “Facebook” “Youtube” “Reverbnation” & Also “Twitter” along with various websites with all of these combined he knew he could reach out to even more people. It started to with Youtube he began creating a buzz managing to pull in over 3 Million video views in under a year. He began creating a huge impact in his school because people were watching and listening to his music and videos. He Built a large fan base in high school people he didn’t even know began coming up to him telling Elijah how great his videos are. He Promoted his Youtube videos by using the website “Twitter” He managed to obtain over 16,000 followers in under a years length of time. Then promoted even more with his facebook & also reverbnation which contains over 250,000 fans on his page. Out of his whole area of Wappingers falls Elijah is  ranked #2 on the music charts. By the year of 2011 I was able to obtain thousands of fans in different areas of the world. He was soon to learn quickly not having professional things such as professional pictures, album covers, Mixed & Mastered songs & Quality Videos would get him no where he wanted to be. He had a choice to make pay somebody to do these various things that were needed or learn how to do all of these things myself. he slowly but eventually learned how to do all of these things making him even more of a independent Artist Elijah will never release anything unless if it looks & sounds professional. All of his sites that he is found on are professional looking and even looking better because of his massive fan numbers. Having 1,000’s of fans and millions of plays changed Elijah’s life. This is only the beginning of a great journey he have a long way to go.
