About Elation
Our Story
David Lee Adams, CEO and New Orleans native, built his first recording studio at age 23 in West Palm Beach, Florida. After spending 9 years in Los Angeles working with artists like Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Ne-Yo, Robin Thicke, Rick Ross, Jordin Sparks, and Master P, David returned home in 2021 with a vision.
He purchased a 12,000-square-foot building in Metairie and transformed it into Louisiana's premier multimedia center. His goal: to bring industry-standard infrastructure to New Orleans that allows local artists and content creators to compete on a national level.
"New Orleans is home to a vast pool of talented creatives who just need the right resources to be unleashed." - David Lee Adams
