He was first inspired by singer James Blake and producer Gold Panda when he was around 16, combining elements of those artists into his own sound.

Shallou began his career during late 2014, and since then has been vastly noticed by the likes of Billboard, Sirius XM, The Fader, Complex, Spin, Indie Shuffle and Hype Machine.

He also released his debut EP, All Becomes Okay, available on all streaming services, as well as for download directly on Shallou's website, with 100% of its profit going to the Environmental Defense Fund.

By early 2020 Shallou garnered over 350 million streams with the release of his debut album, Magical Thinking, featuring collaborations from The Knocks as well as vocalists Daya and Ashe.

Shallou often performs with a live trio, touring with many similar artists such as Petit Biscuit, Honne, Roosevelt, Basecamp, El Ten Eleven, and Big Gigantic.
