E-Life (real name Elvis de Oliveira) is a rapper from Rotterdam, Netherlands. He is also a DJ for radio station Juize FM.E-Life started his music career with rap crew Dope Syndicate. DJ Raw Deal's move to the US in 1995 prompted E-Life to go solo, touring through Europe. His first solo single, Stacked With Honors, came out a year later, in 1996.

Its successors I Wonder Why and In Doubt '99 (both 1999) didn't make it to the Dutch charts, while K.I.T.A. (Bring It On) would drop from the charts after two weeks.His second album, E=MC², was distributed throughout Europe. The album features contributions from Michael Franti and Postmen.
