A phenomenon of the streamosphere and a new sensation on the Quebec rap scene, Aswell has established himself in just a few years as a key voice on the local music scene, as well as a figurehead for musicians of his generation.
Buoyed by his first two career projects, the Solo EP released in 2021 and the Banlieue album released in 2024 and launched at a sold-out Club Soda, the young artist has already racked up over 55 million listens on all streaming platforms, and a gold single certification for his track Leaving. He has also performed on some of the biggest stages in the province (Francos de Montréal, FEQ, Festivoix de Trois-Rivières, Le Festif! de Baie-Saint-Paul).
Navigating between emo rap, pop and Quebec folk, Aswell stands out for his catchy, melodic flows and his personal, authentic, introspective lyrics, in which he explores tumultuous love affairs, existential emptiness and the ambition to succeed surrounded by loved ones.
