About Me

Aristocrat: a-ris-to-crat (noun)
A person with tastes, manners and beliefs of the upper class; a nobleman;
distinguished

Heyworld recording artist Aristo definitely embodies the derived definition
representing him. Born in South America and raised in the west end of
Toronto, Aristo’s musical pursuit began at the age of 12. Over the years, he
began to incorporate his appreciation for various musical genres; however, it
was hip hop mavericks EPMD, Big Daddy Kane, Tupac and Nas that would
leave a lasting impression on the budding musician. Over the past eight years,
Aristo has been busy bringing his music to the public. In 1999 he recorded his
first demo tape and began to make a name for himself in the underground hip
hop scene. As Aristo started to gain a strong fan base, it became evident that it
was time to solidify his name in the world of underground hip hop through the
release of various mix tapes:

• Blockwork: Vol. 1 & 2
• West End Ryderz: Vol. 1
• So Seductive: Vol. 1 & 2
• Trials of a Hustler (Interactive CD)
• The Offense: The Playbook 1st Quarter
• Take Control: Vol. 1 & 2

His mix tapes went on to sell over 65, 000 copies worldwide. The success from
his mix tapes caught the attention of some top rated hip hop magazines across
the world. Aristo was featured in Indie Street, Yo Raps and Kingsize magazine
as the next big thing. In addition to large venue performances with Juelz Santana,
112 and Too Short, it was clear to audiences that unlike many hip hop artists,
Aristo’s rhymes challenge current clichés of today’s hip hop industry. Backed
by freshly crafted beats, his lyrical content takes listeners through a world wind
experience as he speaks on his cultural, family and day-to-day struggles into his music.
