'Gossip Girl' Reboot Introduction: Who is Eli Brown?

Eli Brown, a singer cum actor, has signed with the reboot version of 'Gossip Girl', which could turn out to be his breakthrough. Here are some of the intriguing details about the actor. 

Born Elijah Brown, he rose to fame with the screen name of Eli Brown, upon entering the music world. It's only a few days since the actor joined the cast of 'Gossip Girl' 2.0, alongside the likes of Emily Alyn Lind and Kristen Bell. The reboot is set to air on the HBO Network with ten-episodes. 

Eli Brown rose to fame as a musician rather than an actor, since he released quite a few tracks from 2018. Later on, he attempted a trial in acting, which turned out to be a golden move, which further expanded her resume highlights. 

Eli Brown Rose to Fame As A Songwriter

Eli Brown might have landed a significant role at 'Gossip Girl' reboot, but it wasn't his acting works that brought him at this stage. Like every other musician of the current generation, he started doing cover songs online before making it big on YouTube and Instagram.

The artist has gifted talents in playing guitar and singing songs. Having the 'Stairway to Heaven' singer, Led Zeppelin, and Meryl Streep as an inspiration, he could have established a career in music alone for a living. However, he didn't limit himself to it, and we are so grateful for it. 

Eli Brown's Acting Debut from 'Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists'

The newest 'Gossip Girl' acquisition started acting on 2019 in 'Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists' as Dylan Walker. The story behind how he got back to the role was much drama and quite funny.

Nicknamed Grandpa Eli within the 'Pretty Little Liars' universe, he shared the screen alongside Sydney Park, Sofia Carson, and Sasha Pieterse.

He displayed his versatility playing 'Brett Blackmore', which undoubtedly impressed everyone and got other opportunities knocking on her door, including the prestigious 'Gossip Girl'.

Well, yeah, Eli Brown finds it annoying how technology has advanced so fast and struggles to adapt to it. Surprisingly, he still uses a flip phone for a mode of communication. In fact, it was his way of showing rebelling the technological advancements using the traditional mechanism. Besides the flip phone, he also carries around an Apple iPad for social media purposes.
