His name is Shawn Hlookoff and he's another Canadian singer, this one from British Columbia. He started writing music when he was in junior high, but released his first official stuff in 2004 when his college teacher offered to produce it. He moved to Vancouver for engineering, where he created a second independent album under his full name. In 2008 he became the first artist to sign with ABC Studios which led to his song being used in a lot of their content. He officially switched to his stage name with the release of his debut album in 2012. He spent some time collaborating with other people until his fame found its stride in 2014. This led to him signing with a label in 2015 which coincided with his previous deal with the studio; and released another album. The next year he toured with Lindsey Stirling, and opened for Marianas Trench. Along with music he created a charity that's branded as Live To Give which raises money for various causes. We haven't heard much from him recently apart from a few singles last year, but I'm sure more is on its way.
This needed to be a song to exercise to. Which was hard to me. I ended up just going with one that has an even beat to keep pace to. Sammy picked What Goes Up by Hyper Crush, and Will chose Down With The Sickness by Disturbed. Anna picked Run To The Hills by Iron Maiden. My mom went with Somethin’ I’m Good At by Brett Eldridge, and my grandma chose Twist and Shout by The Beatles.
Peace.
