Vancouver-based DJ talks about his music, his collaborations and his dream projects
Juno nominated A-Slam has come a long way from the streets of East Vancouver where he grew up. In addition to being nominated for one of the highest honors in the Canadian music industry, he has also won the top spot in the International Songwriting contest for the single For You – a song that was inspired by and dedicated to his mother – “She is my world,” he says.
A professional DJ, artist and producer A-SLAM – his original name is Hussein Alidina – has toured with the likes of H-Dhami, Imran Khan, Juggy D and Mumzy in the past 6 years. He has opened for Jay Sean, Malkit Singh, Apache Indian, Fat Joe, Sweat Shop Union, JoSH, Raghav and Aman Hayer and has performed alongside Stereo Nation in Downtown Toronto’s Rogers Centre.
