ARTIST BIO

Alex LeBlanc, known by his artist and DJ name “Acalus”, is a multifaceted producer with several projects under his exclusive engineering. With a career spanning over a decade, there’s a good chance if you’ve heard any of the artists under the PRZM category, Acalus has been the mastermind behind it. He is the producer behind Harmz, Mo Money Matteo, DSO, Ryan Vincent, Timothy Robot, and more. He has several draws of inspiration that influence his output, spanning from progressive house and future bass to the outer reaches of alternative hip-hop and pop. A curious mind with big ambitions and a desire for perfection, he leaves no stone unturned when creating his next track.

Acalus has been a producer from a young age, with humble beginnings creating mashups and DJ mixes and posting them on his SoundCloud and YouTube pages. From here, he was inspired by many of the tracks he was hearing and started creating his own productions from scratch, originally founded in an EDM soundscape. He released several remixes and bootlegs of popular and underground tracks before starting to work on original music. He released a few work-in-progress tracks on his SoundCloud before starting work on his first album, Prism.

In the midst of curating tracks for this premiere album, Acalus started working alongside Ryan Vincent to create songs in more of a hip-hop channel. This, alongside Ryan putting him on to many new artists he hadn’t been exposed to before, started opening his eyes to what else was possible with music production. This new influence resulted in the formation of hip-hop supergroup DSO, with Harmz and Romaine included in the mix. By this time, Acalus was producing individually for Harmz, Ryan Vincent and creating DSO tracks while trying to keep his album dream intact.

From this point on, Acalus has garnered several full-length projects under his belt, such as the Music Nova Scotia award nominated Harmz project “The Best is Yet to Come”, the experimental and eclectic PYRMDSCHM album “Avantgarde” in collaboration with Ryan Vincent, Mo Money Matteo’s dance-infused “STUNTGIRL”, and the cult classic “DSO 001” from the early days of DSO’s output. Each project has its own character, and Acalus’ production always evolves with each new release and each new person that shows desire to work with him.

Along with the achievements of producing hit tracks, Acalus showcases talent in many other areas. He has years of experience in videography, photography, web design, and graphic design. These skills in diverse areas of digital media have made him an unstoppable force as a creative, and eventually led to the decision to abandon his album passion project. Instead, he transformed everything he had created into a label structure and created PRZM, a music collective fueled by collaboration and promoting local artists with drive and ambition like his. Although still in its early stages, PRZM is growing larger by the day, with new ideas and members being brought to the table. This exciting new chapter for Acalus is one to keep a close eye on, as he has begun his mastery of the audio production realm and is ready to challenge the expectations of his listeners even further.
