A-SLAM Bio
With the help of the BC Music Fund, DJ A-SLAM has launched a new group called the “Global Party Starters”. In their short time as a group, GPS has already been nominated for two Canadian Songwriting Awards, and were semi-finalists in the Unsigned Only Music Competition. This project has also allowed DJ A-SLAM to take the directors seat. His first video, titled Follow Me, brought together international artists sharing their personal mantras. A-SLAM’s second treatment led to a Telus StoryHive music video grant. This video, titled “Bout Us”, has just released and will be screened at Toronto’s Filmy Festival as well and the Vancouver International South Asian Film Festival.
