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 Indie and Electronic music scenes. 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. Boston currently resides in Los Angeles. Shallou is a singular producer/artist that performs live as a duo, touring with many similar artists such as Petit Biscuit, HONNE, Blackbird Blackbird, Roosevelt, BASECAMP, El Ten Eleven and Big Gigantic.
