BIOGRAPHY
Elliot Daemon (born Görkem Akdeniz Uysal, March 28, 1998) is a Turkish Romaninan designer, performing artist, singer songwriter, record producer, and entrepreneur known for his fearless vision and energetic intensity.
​
Born in Istanbul and raised between Istanbul, Turkey and ConstanÈ›a, Romania, Elliot grew up surrounded by art and culture. From a young age, he immersed himself in performance and fine arts, studying acting under legendary Turkish theater actor Müjdat Gezen and pop singer and actress Yonca Evcimik, mastering flamework glass art under artisans from PaÅŸabahçe, and receiving dance and movement training from Tolga Han and Tan SaÄŸtürk, two of Turkey’s most respected choreographers. Before relocating to the United States, he also studied 3D Animation and Drawing at Sabancı University, where he developed his foundational understanding of design, form, and digital media. These early experiences grounded him in discipline, craftsmanship, and performance, a foundation that continues to shape his artistry today.
​
At 18, Elliot relocated to Los Angeles, California to expand his creative horizons and pursue a professional career in the arts. He studied Design and Media Arts at UCLA and attended The Los Angeles Recording School before leaving college to fully commit to his artistic path. Around this time, he began developing the creative network that would later evolve into 11:11, a collective of artists, producers, and designers. The movement, based in Hollywood, quickly gained traction and led to millions of streams and views worldwide as Elliot and his peers shaped a new sound and aesthetic that resonated globally.
​
In 2021, during the pandemic, Elliot officially founded 11:11 RECORDS, transforming the collective into a full record label and creative ecosystem. One of the most valuable things built through 11:11 and 11:11 RECORDS is a positive culture centered on elevating every team member, from executives to creatives. Within a few years, the label became a cultural force and a symbol of futurism in music, ranking among the top five percent of independent record labels worldwide by 2025 and forming major partnerships across music, design, and technology.
​
Beyond his work as an artist and producer, Elliot’s influence as a designer is equally profound. His creations, spanning visual identities, product and interior design, brand systems, and audiovisual experiences, are known for their minimalist precision, futuristic edge, and artistic depth.
​
Today, Elliot Daemon stands as a new generation visionary bridging art, design, tech, and enterprise. His work represents not only aesthetic mastery but also a philosophy of perseverance, proof that even from pain and triumph something timeless can be built.
​
A true polymath, Elliot’s work transcends boundaries, uniting music, design, and performance into one evolving art form. As a drummer, he carries an innate sense of rhythm and high tempo energy that fuels every creation, from sonic productions to visual design. Renowned for his precision, versatility, and authenticity, he has earned recognition from industry leaders and admiration from audiences worldwide. With over a decade of creative mastery across sound, visual design, and innovation, Elliot Daemon continues to solidify his place as a cultural force whose influence only grows with time.
