Shallou

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.

Boston grew up in Washington, DC, with a family of intense music lovers. 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. Shallou began his career during late 2014, and since then has been vastly noticed by the likes of Billboard, Sirius XM, The Fader, Complex, Spin, Indie Shuffle and Hype Machine. Shallou's 2016 singles "Heights" and "Doubt" have also received heavy rotation on multiple streaming platforms. 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 arranged and recorded with a string quartet at Spotify's offices in New York. He also released his debut EP, All Becomes Okay, 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. In March of 2019, it was announced Shallou would perform at Coachella and Lollapalooza music festivals.
