Joe Boston, professionally known as stage name Shallou, is a Los Angeles based producer, singer, and environmentalist, who produces ambient, house melodies and soulful vocals that have carved a niche in the Electronic and Indie scenes.[4] His debut EP, All Becomes Okay, was released on May 12, 2017 through his own label Sleeptalker.

Early life

Boston grew up in Washington, DC, with a family of intense music lovers. His dad was all about music discovery, playing Radiohead and Wilco to him when he was a kid. He was first inspired by singer James Blake and producer Gold Panda when he was around 16, combining elements of those artists into his own sound. After attending college at Loyola University New Orleans, he moved to Chicago to continue producing music.[5] Boston currently resides in Los Angeles.

Career

2014 – present

Shallou began his career during late 2014, and since then has been vastly noticed by the likes of The Fader, Complex, Spin, Indie Shuffle and Hype Machine. Shallou's 2016 singles "Heights" and "Doubt" have also received heavy rotation on multiple music platforms, and the latter has already racked up 23 million plays to date. In 2017, Shallou released his first cover, "Motion Picture Soundtrack". Shallou has released two Spotify Singles, "Begin" and a cover of Francis and the Lights "Friends", which he recorded with a string quartet at Spotify's offices in New York. He also released his debut EP - All Becomes Okay, which has also reached over 75 million plays to date on Spotify alone.[6] All Becomes Okay is available on all streaming services, as well as for download directly on Shallou's website, with 100% of its profit going to the Environmental Defense Fund.

Associated acts

Shallou has toured with many similar artists such as Petit Biscuit, Honne, Blackbird Blackbird, Roosevelt, Basecamp, and El Ten Eleven. In the Spring of 2018 he will begin touring with Big Gigantic.
