Aladean Kheroufi (2025)

Edmonton, AB

Equal parts balladeer, crooner, and pop star, Aladean Kheroufi is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, arranger, producer, and DJ. A Canadian by way of Algeria, he writes songs that are idiosyncratic, soulful, and devastating, with optimism that turns heartbreak into melancholic party anthems. Check out his 2024 release Studies In A Dying Love for a taste of his pop-forward sensibilities.
