Shallou makes music for summer sunsets, winter wonderlands, and other contexts wheresharpened senses meet heightened emo;ons in the glow of a profound, o<en wis=ul calm.Born Joe Boston in Washington D.C., Shallou grew up in Rockville, Maryland, studied in NewOrleans, and moved to Chicago to focus on music before eventually resettling in LA. He releasedhis EP, Souls, in 2018, with lullaby-grade chimes and breathy falseJo melodies. Shallou's soundis characterized by gorgeous produc;on that wraps the listener in a warm blanket, while other;mes evoking strong emo;ons or an urge to dance. He is one of the few electronic ar;sts at hislevel to push the limits of a live show - touring with a live drummer and guitarist. Though his liveshows have taken on several itera;ons throughout his career, his own abili;es shine through,including live vocals, keys and DJing. Shallou has played major music fes;vals like Coachella atthe Sahara Tent and sold out some of the US' most iconic venues. His debut album MagicalThinking saw him bring his collabora;ons to a new level, pairing with expert songwriters likeAshe and iconic pop voices like Daya. The same year, he teamed up with chill contemporaryPe;t Biscuit for their single "I Leave Again," moving the chill genre even further into thelimelight. Once the pandemic began to subside, Shallou emerged with his follow up EP, 'TheLong Way Home,' in 2021. Handling all vocals himself, this was a turning point in Shallou'scareer for establishing an ar;s;c iden;ty. The EP features emo;ve dance tracks ("Heartaches,""Here") as well as cinema;c indie songs ("Corners," "Pacifica") with wri;ng assists from the likesof Panama and Elderbrook. In 2023, Shallou has taken on the ubiquitous house music genre, determined to leave his own distinctive stamp on it.
