I am Eric Hans Schaefer — a Honolulu-based male model and performance artist who is also known in music and ministry as E Lion (Holy Hip-Hop / Messianic rap). I am camera-ready, direction-friendly, and used to long production days from music videos, TV-adjacent work, fashion shows, and live crowds.

I built my early career in Hawaiʻi: venue performances across Oʻahu, student radio on KTUH 90.3 FM, fashion and promotional work, and music videos with local artists. I toured the mainland, performed from churches to major stages, and spent 2012–2013 in Israel with the Shaloha Band (Jerusalem to Tel Aviv). Back home I worked in watersports media (JetLev Hawaiʻi and later Angel Concierge tourism promos), shot press with Honolulu Magazine, and kept releasing music — 400+ songs written, about 150 on streaming.

National television: my family won the Family Feud grand prize in 2016 (first Hawaiʻi-resident family flown to Atlanta; five-game run). I still perform, teach, and create — 1,000+ live shows documented — and run owner-verified public pages so casting teams can fact-check the résumé: elionmusic.com/wiki, /timeline/, /presskit/, /articles/, and /mission/. Music and reels: elionmusic.com/player, youtube.com/@elionreigns, youtube.com/prayerdoctor. Performance reel: vimeo.com/34645618.

On set I bring high energy, punctuality, and clear communication with photographers, directors, and stylists. I am open to agency representation and paid bookings for editorial, commercial, fitness, swimwear, runway, promotional, branded content, and performance-forward spots where rap, hosting, or stunts add value.
