Artist Information
Biography
Canadian singer/songwriter, Asim Chin, grew up playing classical and jazz piano from a very early age. After earning his A.R.C.T in piano performance at age 17, he picked up his first guitar and began playing some of his favourite songs with his own pop singer/songwriter style, many of which can be seen on his popular YouTube Channel. While performing acoustic covers of everything from 80’s classics to current ‘Top 40’ hip-hop tunes, Asim started developing his song writing skills with a focus on unforgettable melodies, distinct rhythms and honest lyrics. Having just released his debut EP, 'Boxed In', he continues to perform a variety of originals and covers for audiences in and around his hometown of Edmonton, Alberta. In the past two years alone, Asim has played over 80 shows at both local music venues and on behalf of numerous charitable organizations, winning over audiences with his engaging stage presence, and diverse solo acoustic sets. This past summer, Asim was the first runner up at the Northern Star Talent Search, and was also recognized as one of Edmonton’s finest upcoming talents by local radio station HOT 107 through their HOT Factor Program. Some of the highlights of Asim’s performance roster include being part of the 'Soaring With Song' breast cancer benefit show held at the prestigious Winspear Center, accompanied by the star-studded David Foster Band, an appearance for over 10,000 people in Edmonton’s Churchill Square for the CIBC's annual ‘Run for the Cure’ event, and being selected to perform in the 2011 New Music West Festival.
