Andy Shauf

Renowned Canadian singer-songwriter Andy Shauf is a master of musical storytelling. Known for his meticulous craftsmanship, Shauf's beautiful marriage of his music with visuals is what makes him particularly stand out. He is not just singing songs; he's painting pictures, building characters, crafting narratives, and orchestrating cinematic moments. His talent for this narrative style music-video-making has been noted in releases such as "The Magician," a gloomy puppet affair and "Quite Like You," a quirky animation about unrequited love at a house party which, by the way, involves a raucous inter-galactic intervention, hammering home the idea that Shauf's creativity knows no bounds.

One lesser-known fact about Shauf? This multi-instrumentalist records most of his works in his home basement. Yep, that's right. All that magic—from the warming notes of the "Try Again" video's charmingly awkward bar interactions to the whimsical awkwardness conveyed in "Neon Skyline"—is primarily born underground, well, metaphorically speaking. His ability to make such incredible music and corresponding videos in such an unassuming space has had a renowned impact on the industry, inspiring emerging artists and listeners alike to appreciate the beauty of storytelling through music and its visuals. In a scene where an excessive display of resources is often valued, Shauf’s approach is a breath of fresh air, reminding everyone it's not about where you create, but what you create.
