Okay, so technically I didn't "discover" him, but I did discover him in a sense.
3 years ago, I was pulled (kicking and screaming) to a Jacksoul concert in Victoria. I was certainly not expecting to enjoy myself, but I did end up receiving an incredible surprise. That night, I fell in love with the opening artist... Shawn Hlookoff.
Here was a young performer, from Nelson BC, barely 20 years old, who sang with a maturity and emotion you rarely see in seasoned performers. I have never been so impressed by raw talent.
I've been following Shawn's progress over the past few years and he continues to amaze and impress me with his artistry and orginality. Over the past year, he's also been turning a few heads in LA. Shawn has been recording songs for ABC and has had his music featured on shows like The Hills and Eli Stone. Just this week he performed on Good Morning America.
I'm so proud. He is amazing. Absolutely amazing. If you never click on another link or check out another artist... check out this one: http://www.myspace.com/hlookoff "Without You" is my favorite... but they are all good.
Shawn Hlookoff, my wonderful discovery, music needs you - I love you.
