Elias Soriano, the frontman for the rock band Nonpoint, has a past life that extends beyond the stage – he was once a professional juggler, a “Carney” as he puts it. A recent post on the band’s official Facebook page highlighted this lesser-known chapter of Soriano’s life, sparking a wave of reactions from fans. The post, featuring a video of Soriano juggling, quickly garnered over 520 reactions and 27 shares as of Friday, March 20, 2026.
The Facebook post, shared approximately 19 hours prior, simply states, “Juggling Elias. When your singer used to be a Carney. #nonpoint #HasAFutureInTheCircus.” The accompanying video shows Soriano skillfully manipulating juggling props, a skill he apparently honed before achieving rock stardom. This glimpse into Soriano’s background offers a unique perspective on the multifaceted talents of the band’s vocalist.
Nonpoint is currently gearing up for the release of a new album, described by Soriano as “exceptionally, very heavy” and a return to the band’s roots. In a recent interview with Super Cool Radio, Soriano discussed the musical direction of the upcoming record, noting the incorporation of textures and layers reminiscent of their 2018 album, ‘X’, and further explored in ‘Heartless’ (2023) and ‘Ruthless’ (2021). Blabbermouth.net reported on the interview, detailing Soriano’s focus on lyrical depth and meaning.
A Return to Lyrical Roots
Soriano explained that he’s intentionally revisiting his earlier songwriting style, emphasizing cadence, metaphor, and double entendres. He aims to create songs that reward repeated listening, encouraging fans to delve deeper into the lyrics and discover multiple layers of meaning. While acknowledging the energy of live performances and the appeal of “trigger words,” Soriano wants his music to inspire further thought and personal interpretation. This approach represents a conscious effort to balance the band’s energetic stage presence with more substantive lyrical content.
The Songwriting Process
The band’s songwriting process, according to Soriano, begins with musical ideas sent by other members. He then interprets these ideas, translating them into songs with lyrics and meaning. He describes the music as often dictating the mood and direction of the lyrics, with his role being to amplify the emotional impact of the composition. “From what the guys usually send, there’s a song in there within the song,” Soriano said, as transcribed by Blabbermouth.net. “Sometimes it’s just there.”
Beyond Music: A Multifaceted Artist
While the new album is a primary focus, Soriano also engages in other creative pursuits. On January 12, 2026, he spoke with 95-7 The Rock about these endeavors, as well as the challenges and rewards of life on tour and the joys of being a father. The interview also touched on the importance of good coffee for maintaining energy during tour schedules. The band is also preparing for the Riverfront Revolt, with details and ticket information available on 95-7 The Rock’s website.
The revelation of Soriano’s past as a juggler adds another layer to his public persona, showcasing a diverse skillset and a history of performance beyond the realm of rock music. It’s a reminder that even established artists often have hidden talents and unexpected backgrounds. The band’s continued evolution, both musically and creatively, promises an exciting future for Nonpoint and its dedicated fanbase.
Nonpoint is expected to release more details about their upcoming album in the coming weeks. Fans can stay updated on the band’s activities through their official Facebook page and other social media channels.
