Her music resonated across Europe, gracing renowned platforms like BBC Radio 6, Italy’s ‘Radio Capital,’ and Spain’s RTVE, FIP France, alongside extensive airplay in North America.
Aphrose’s album “Roses” garnered attention from SOCAN Words & Music Magazine, NOW Toronto, Toronto Star, and Fader Magazine. Collaborating with Grammy, Soul Train, and JUNO Award-winning artists such as Daniel Caesar, Charlotte Day Wilson, and Jessie Reyez, she’s become a sought-after background singer for some of Canada’s finest artists. Opening for icons like Chantal Kreviazuk and Raine Maida (Our Lady Peace) on their Moon vs. Sun tour, further solidified her presence as one to watch.
