He just released his first EP First Time Outside, a mixture of R&B, Jazz, and Soul music, that explores a diverse range of topics including heartbreak, universal joy, self forgiveness, and police brutality. Fortuno is the Los Angeles-based trio, Ellis, Eli, and Tobi, whose music is built on guitar-driven grooves, smooth vocals, and deeply felt songwriting. Blending indie, R&B, folk, and pop, their forthcoming EP, Make The Time, explores the anxiety of entering your late twenties and the attempt to make space for what matters most as time seems to slip away.
