Most of the artists we hear on the radio have thousands, if not millions, of fans. But sometimes some of the best artists are the lesser known ones.

I discovered Elias Vier of Elias and the Error from his work with the popular YouTuber and comedian Brandon Rogers. In fact, it was this video that first introduced me to his music. He even made some of the music for Brandon's well known series, Magic Funhouse, along with many other projects.

Elias lives in Ohio and is known for creating alternative, heavy metal, rock, electronic, and dance music. He is a writer and composer with songs ranging from experimental to poetic. The best part about his music is that he writes music that he enjoys making and doesn't just make music that he thinks will attract a larger audience.

There are perks that come with being part of a small fanbase. Elias has a YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, and Discord. All of which he uses to chat directly with his fans! He does biweekly livestreams and is about to start streaming every night on Twitch. In fact, you can follow his streams here!

His streams are always interactive. He constantly responds to comments and questions in the chat and often allows us to contribute to the stream by allowing us to join multiplayer games with him like Jackbox Games, Use Your Words, Kahoot, and even reacting to YouTube videos sent in by us. He's known for showing off a pair of snazzy sunglasses, autotuning his voice, and if the time is right, he might even bring out one of his many hand fans. Sometimes his cats even join in on the fun!

His fans are all various ages, from locations across the map, and all have unique personalities and interests. He calls his overall fanbase the "Gay Nugget Fam" (a name created by one of his fans) and his Twitch fans are his "Destruction Squad. He considers all of his active fans his friends, and is alway more than willing to chat with us on his Discord about anything that may be troubling us in our personal lives.

Getting to interact with and get to know a musician you admire on a personal level is an experience like no other and I highly recommend getting to know Elias. Who knows, maybe he'll be your new favorite artist!
