Elvis Blue was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa.

After failing miserably as a waiter he started creating music when he was 16 years old. He bought a guitar and learned to play off the internet. Singing on the streets of Johannesburg (busking) for pocket money through high school was also a great way to raise money for overseas adventures.〔(Blue Magic )〕 In his school years he played in several bands. He matriculated from Linden High school and travelled overseas, busking on the streets of London and Scotland.〔(Celebrating the richness of SA’s Gospel tradition )〕 On his return, he studied contemporary music at Allenby Campus.
