Our Story

From a Producer’s Seat at FOX to a Texas Marketplace

Elated grew out of a Dallas studio that has spent decades on both sides of the camera and the console. It started with a producer’s seat at FOX in the 90s. Since then the team has produced national ad campaigns, corporate productions, live events and news segments.

Daniel Elliott has been a photographer for more than 35 years and has more than 40 years of live and studio audio experience. He has played and mixed the rooms performers want to book, including the House of Blues.

Elated takes that experience and puts it to work for Texas talent and the people who hire them.

  • A full concert stage with multi-camera coverage and stage lighting.
  • A 32-track digital recording and editing suite.
  • A photo studio for headshots, promo images and key art.

What We Believe

Booking Talent Should Be Simple and Safe

Protection

Pay Safely, Coming Soon

Once in-platform payments launch, buyers will pay through the platform and funds will be released after the show, so both sides are covered.

Fairness

No Booking, No Dues

Talent dues come out of booked gigs, not out of pocket. If you do not book, you do not pay dues.

Quality

Show What You Do

Our studio helps talent put real photos, reels and demos on their profiles so buyers know what they are getting.
