Montreal native A-SHO is making his mark in the Canadian music scene and he’s an emerging independent dance/pop act.  A-SHO has said that the R&B artists who have heavily influenced him include Scarborough’s very own The Weeknd along with Miguel and Usher.  A-SHO has also said that old-school soul acts which include, Seal and Earth, Wind & Fire have also influenced his musical style.

 

Early into his career, A-SHO began writing and recording music that combined honest songwriting against groovy, house-influenced beats.  And when it comes to comparing his music, A-SHO describes his sound to be a lot like previous musical collaborations including Disclosure with Sam Smith, Daft Punk & The Weeknd and Jack Ü with Justin Bieber.

 

In 2016, A-SHO released his breakout smash, ‘On My Way’ which was not only created with UK-based producer XYOP but it also racked up over five million streams on Spotify.  ‘On My Way’ peaked at No.8 on the Canadian iTunes electronic dance chart and No. 3 on the Palmares English Radio Chart.

 

Over the course of his career, A-SHO has over 200, 000 monthly Spotify listeners and millions of plays on all music platforms including YouTube, Soundcloud and Spotify.  A-SHO is a Canadian radio success, performs at major festivals including, Festival D’ete de Quebec and Villa Paradizo and has also earned the support of various DJ’s and producers from Hardwell to Sam Feldt to Felix Jaehn.

 

In a recent Instagram post, A-SHO says, “Started this music thing 2 years ago…didn’t know what to expect or how to navigate at first… all I knew was that it made me feel something and that I was going to find a way to do it for the rest of my life. Today I’ve signed a record deal with @ sony_music_canada and I’ve never been more motivated and inspired to create and release music with a team of such passionate and professional people at one of the best record labels in the world. Massive shoutout to my friend and producer/co-writer @davidamtl for sharing your talent and believing in me. To @ connor_seidel for all your engineering work and advice. And to @ steviewhite for opening so many doors for me. And to anyone following my journey, get ready for some vibes coming your way in early fall! Much luv for all the support!”
