Connor Abeles began freestyle rapping in drivers ed at age 16 under the name "Straight Eggin'". At Emerson College, Abeles donned the name "Cab Ellis" and performed as a solo hip-hop act around Boston. After moving to Los Angeles in 2018, Abeles formed a rock band under the same name alongside Matt Richards (Sax/Clarinet/Flute), Nick Petrou (Bass), Luke Woodle (Drums) and Jonny Sim (Guitar).

The sound combines the power and spirit of rock & roll with the lyricism of hip-hop and contains elements of jazz and gospel music. Since their inception, Cab Ellis has performed at venues such as the Troubadour, The Lodge Room and Whisky A Go Go. They were selected to be a part of NPR's Tiny Desk Contest On The Road in 2019 and have opened for fellow hip-hop artist, Watsky. Their debut album, "Nighttime OCD", is available now.

Mixed and Mastered by Joshi Sagar.
