Elijah Blue Allman, also known by his stage name P. Exeter Blue I, was born July 10, 1976. He is the son of Cher and Gregg Allman and half brother of Chaz Bono, Island Allman, Michael Allman, Layla Allman, and Devon Allman.
He is the singer and guitarist for the rock band Deadsy which consists of Alec Pure on drums, Dr. Nner on synthesizer, Carlton Megalodon on Z-tar, and Jens Funke on bass. Deadsy released two albums: 2002's Commencement and Phantasmagore, which came out on August 22, 2006. Much of the themes used by Elijah in Deadsy have been much influenced by the 1955 film This Island Earth. The name Exeter is taken from one of the leading characters of the story, as well as much of the mutli-color use through out Deadsy's themes, is shown throughout the film.[citation needed]
At the age of 13, Allman toured as a guitarist with Cher; he was given his first guitar by Kiss bassist Gene Simmons. In 1994, he auditioned for the spot of guitarist for Nine Inch Nails but ended up losing the spot to Robin Finck.
In an MTV interview for a program about children of famous rock musicians, he commented that "I respect The Allman Brothers Band very much, but I've always been more into Black Sabbath, David Bowie, and Metallica."
It was announced in February 2007 that Elijah is working on a solo record as Elijah Blue and the Trapezoids.
