About the Event
Doors 7:00 Show 8:00 PM
Canadian rapper Sonreal was born Aaron Hoffmann in Vernon, British Columbia in 1985. Growing up in a small town, he was interested early on in skateboarding and heavy metal, but his tastes quickly shifted to a love of hip-hop after becoming fascinated with classic albums by pillars of the early-'90s East Coast scene like Nas and Mobb Deep . After graduating high school, he spent all of his free time recording his own original tracks, resulting in his earliest mixtapes such as 2006's Trapped in the Streets, 2009's The Stroll, and the more polished 2011 effort Where's Waldo. He began to be recognized for his work in Canada, and with the help of a breakout video for his track "Everywhere We Go," constant touring, and releasing of new music in the form of EPs and free mixtapes, he eventually inked a deal with Capitol Records . With the support of the label, he delivered his first proper full-length studio album, One Long Dream, in 2017. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi
Important Information
SonReal
SonReal is the moniker of Canadian singer, songwriter, rapper and visual artist Aaron Hoffman. With years of international touring, more than a dozen award nominations, 130 million video views and over 200 million global streams to his credit, Aaron has made a name for himself as SonReal.
Bursting onto the scene with the quirky, now-viral video sensation “Everywhere We Go” (36M views), SonReal and his team set a high bar for visual content and song writing. The Double Platinum-certified single “Can I Get A Witness” was the first indication that SonReal had more to say as a songwriter and more to accomplish as an artist.
His previous project, The Aaron LP, is the culmination of this creative journey to align the artist persona of SonReal with the songwriter and person, Aaron Hoffman every song is a deeply relatable look into the person behind the music.
SonReal’s latest EP “i can’t make this up” was written and recorded in the height of the pandemic, dropped in August 2021, and has amassed over 5.5 million global streams to date.
Most recently, SonReal released his highly anticipated album “Nobody’s Happy All The Time”, which includes the stand out single “Remember Me For Me” featuring Lily Moore accompanied by a dynamic music video directed by Sterling LaRose, which was just nominated for ‘Video of the Year’ award at the 2023 JUNOs. The release was covered by Flaunt, Wonderland, 1883 Magazine & more. In support of this new body of work SonReal is setting out on his “Nobody’s Happy All The Time Tour” covering over 30 cities across North America.
