And it looks and sounds like he is about to follow in the footsteps of his global superstar father with the catchy debut track.

The young wanna-be rock star appears to have the same quality characteristics of his father, sounding just like U2 when they first burst onto the scene.

The four-piece Dublin band have been together since 2012 and is made up of Elijah on vocals and rhythm, Josh Jenkinson on lead guitar, Robert Keating on bass, and Ryan McMahon on drums.

Speaking about the band and the support Bono gives to the up-and-coming group, Eli told Extra.ie in November last year: "My dad's good when I want to see if a song is s***e or not – he will tell me straight away."

While Robert said of his bandmate: "It was never a case that Eli was this big personality who rode the fact of who he was. I just thought I'll do music with him because he's a cool guy."

Speaking about how the band formed, Eli explained: "Rob and I met at school [St Andrew’s College in Blackrock].

"We decided we needed a guitar player, so we 'stole' Josh from another band."

"We started writing music and decided that it would be a cool thing to do as a job. We did the Leaving Cert in the summer [2018] and we’ve taken a year out to really go for it."
