About

Elijah Pantam is an improvisational handpan artist, composer, and certified mentor whose work bridges technical precision with emotional depth. Trained as a classical violinist from the age of four, Elijah developed an early understanding of the power of music to move emotion, awaken presence, and connect us to something greater than ourselves.

His journey as an artist took an unexpected turn when a chronic case of TMJ forced him to step away from the violin, leading him to explore new ways of expressing sound and emotion. During this transition, he found release through metalcore music as a lead vocalist, performing across Atlanta's live music scene. While this period taught him the power of raw energy and performance, he continued searching for an instrument that could embody melody, rhythm, and emotion as one cohesive form.

That search led him to the handpan — an instrument that became both an artistic revelation and a tool for healing. Through it, Elijah discovered a new form of expression that allowed him to translate emotion directly into resonance. What began as exploration soon evolved into mastery as he studied under renowned handpan artist Malte Marten, earning certification as an instructor and deepening his understanding of technique, improvisation, and the instrument's meditative potential.

Today, Elijah's performances are immersive experiences — living soundscapes shaped by intuition, space, and connection. Each note is improvised, creating a sense of presence and stillness that invites listeners inward. His artistry blends cinematic composition with the organic spontaneity of the moment, making every performance unique.

Beyond the stage, Elijah is devoted to mentorship and education. His teaching philosophy is rooted in authenticity and exploration, helping students refine their craft while developing their own creative voice. He continues to explore the therapeutic potential of vibration and frequency — studying how sound influences the body and mind. His compositions are crafted with this awareness, offering audiences more than entertainment
