Aden, a Canadian singer-songwriter and record producer, has been captivated by music for as long as he can remember. Growing up in a family where music was more than just a pastime, he found himself surrounded by instruments and melodies that would shape his artistic journey. With a Mother who introduced him to the vibrant sounds of 80s New Wave icons like Depeche Mode and Duran Duran and a Father whose mixtapes were filled with the raw energy of 90s Grunge and Metal, Aden's musical education was well versed in popular culture. But it wasn't just about listening for Aden; music became a participatory experience thanks to the musicians in his family. This immersive environment led him to delve deep into the works of bands like TOOL, Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, Pantera, and Alexisonfire. He wasn’t content with just enjoying their music; he wanted to dissect and understand the nuances of their craft. This dedication to learning from the greats, combined with his family's influence, laid the groundwork for Aden's artistic evolution. His early inspirations, from the classic sounds of the 80s and 90s to the contemporary sounds of bands like Polyphia, Covet, Hozier and KALEO, all play a part in shaping Aden's unique style of alternative.
