He comes from a musical family and was inspired by watching his two older brothers perfect smooth, silky harmonies and graceful choreography in their respective singing groups. Watching and mimicking various neighborhood musicians formed Eldon's natural musical ability. While perfecting his skills, he played with various local bands and church choirs in the Bay Area. Eldon played on the Reno and Las Vegas circuit prior to forming Five Point 0. He has recorded with many of the heavyweights in the music industry...The Whispers, Bobby Brown, and numerous other artists. Eldon can be found slamming with Five Point 0 and holding down the "back beat" in some of the Whisper's live concerts.
