Anye Elite
Anye Elite (born August 31, 1987 in Philadelphia), also known as Aigner Ellis, is an American singer-songwriter, rapper and LGBT activist.〔 〕 He is best known for his contributions to Atlanta, Georgia’s gay community.〔〔 ==Early life== Elite was born to an African-American mother, Robin Monique Ellis, and an Afro-Dominican father, Bruce Jonathan Perry. Growing up Elite had little contact with his father. His mother’s drug abuse led Philadelphia’s department of human services to place him into the custody of his maternal grandfather, Cornelius Ellis. Elite began singing and community organizing relatively early in his life, ages 7 and 16 respectively. On August 31, 1993, Elite’s seventh birthday, his grandfather purchased his first cassette tape, Mariah Carey’s ''Music Box''. During a chaotic childhood Elite found strength in the lyric’s message of perseverance. Inspired by Carey’s voice and songwriting abilities, Elite began writing and singing his own music. At sixteen, and in high school, he became Mainland High School’s first openly gay homecoming king and around the same time began working with regional community improvement campaigns.
