Eli Mattson: The Piano Man

Eli Mattson, (born November 4, 1981), is a singer/songwriter who claimed second place on the hit US show, America's Got Talent in 2008.

He hails from Duluth, MN but much of his life was spent in Wisconsin and then Chicago. He is a highly talented pianist, with a deep, rich voice that has some calling him the new Elton John or Billy Joel.

He started playing piano at age 5. By the time he had left high school he was performing at local venues and had started to write his own music. At 21, he decided to leave home and tour with members of his country band, living from hand to mouth as he played in small towns around the US.

Tiring of life on the road without much reward, Mattson made the decision to relocate to Chicago, where he has continued to work for several years as a singer / piano player.

With wonderfully emotional performances, Mattson won his way through to the finals of America's Got Talent and, hopefully, is now on the verge of a successful recording career.
