Elijah Hendrix Wahlberg is a rising star in the music industry, and his talent is reminiscent of that of his father, Donnie Wahlberg, an actor and a member of the famous boy band New Kids on the Block.

The second child of Donnie has earned widespread praise, including from his father. Despite Elijah being private about his personal life, Donnie has publicly expressed his pride in his son's success.

Elijah has a vibrant personality and seems destined for success from a young age. In an interview with TV host Rachel Ray in 2013, his father was proud to talk about his outstanding academic achievements. Donnie Wahlberg said of his son:

"He's fun, but he just got Straight A's on his report card. What rate I think he seen he's had one B...it makes me very proud."

Elijah Hendrix Wahlberg Shares His Dad's Love for Basketball

Elijah is a true sports enthusiast, just like his famous father. Not only does he excel academically, but he also shares his father's interest in basketball.

Donnie said he passed down his love for the NBA's Boston Celtics to Elijah, who he considered "high on the list." They also shared a Facebook picture with former Celtics and now Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving.

Elijah's dad also posted another picture of them on the court, showing their support for their favorite NBA team. The boy's dad happily captioned the fantastic photo, "Like father like son."

Fans couldn't help but gush over the heartwarming father-son bond displayed by the dynamic duo. One admirer marveled at how much Elijah had grown and said the pair looked absolutely "super cute and handsome" together.

For Elijah and his father, basketball games are a cherished tradition. Along the way, they've met celebrities and well-known people who have all added to their father-son memories.

In another similar event, the pair snapped a photo with Boston Celtics superstar Jay Tatum. The fact that Elijah and Tatum are wearing matching shoes in the picture shows that he has great admiration for the team.

Noticing two handsome young men beside him, Elijah's dad jokingly commented on their ages and the cool shoes they wore in the photo, saying he felt old standing next to the athlete and his son.

In 2020, the duo attended the 69th NBA All-Star Game in Chicago, Illinois, and were spotted in a photo with rapper and actor Ludacris and Dallas Mavericks basketball star Kemba Walker.

Elijah Hendrix Wahlberg Doesn't Shy Away from Attention & Loves to Perform Onstage

Unlike his older sibling, Alexander Wahlberg, who prefers privacy, Elijah is a social butterfly. Elijah and his older brother are Donnie's sons from his ex-wife Kimberly Fey.

The young social butterfly inherited his father's passion for performance, suggesting his eagerness to take any stage and showcase his talents.

One summer, during one of Donnie's band tours, Elijah expressed his desire to his dad to sing one of the band's popular songs, "Step by Step." His father was surprised but encouraged him to practice in the dressing room before he faced the crowd.

However, Elijah confidently insisted that he didn't need any practice and would go out and perform. His showmanship impressed Donnie, who described his son's efforts as "sweet" and "really cool."

Despite his passion for performing, Elijah was not exposed to much music in his childhood and was not swept up in the Justin Bieber craze. Instead, he was more focused on enjoying Disney shows.

Regarding his private life, Elijah keeps his details to himself.

Elijah Has His Own Band & Makes Music with His Friends

Elijah has grown and has gained fame in the music industry, making a name for himself as the musician behind Pink Laces. With a plethora of songs available on Spotify, his musical alter-ego has taken the music world by storm.

The most recent addition to his portfolio is the 2022 album "Disclosures." He has also released hit tracks in recent years, including "LOVE: MAYHEM," "Can We Rise," "Paradigm," and "Mr. Zero Gravity."

Pink Laces' electrifying pop sound has gained traction and has been compared to bands like Tame Impala and Joywave. It began as a duo but has evolved into Elijah's own musical persona, showing his passion for music.

The music appeals to listeners with its combination of atmospheric beats, synthesizers, and memorable hooks. But Elijah's unique perspective and style are the secret to its success.

Aside from his memorable music, the name Pink Laces has sparked interest among their fans. Elijah revealed the story behind the unique moniker. He said:

"I was bored on a flight one day, filling a random Notes app page with different ideas for band names and song titles. I looked down at my sneakers. I had Pink Laces."

Pink Laces is on the rise, soaring to new heights of popularity. Elijah basks in gratitude, overflowing with thanks for the fans who've continued to support and cheer on his music.

Pink Laces shared on Instagram in 2021 that they had 108,000 Spotify streams and 48,000 listeners from 90 countries. These streams added up to a total of 4,700 hours.

Based on his Instagram posts, he has traveled to other countries occasionally. He has settled in Los Angeles, where he found new friends working with his music.

After much hard work and determination, he has successfully set up his new music studio. He has reassured his enthusiastic fanbase that new music is underway and will be available to them soon.
