FOCUS YOUR AUDIO
Emerging from the vibrant Vancouver music scene, Focus Your Audio is a blend of west coast grit with east coast charm to create a sound that's as unrestrained as it is captivating. The Georgia Straight aptly describes their music as Bobby's "blackheart guitar leavened by Sarah's, angels-and-whiskey vocals." Their seamless fusion of Indie Pop, Alt-Folk, and Rock and Roll forms an enchanting auditory tapestry, with Sarah’s voice delivering a sonic avalanche of passion and depth while Bobby crafts the perfect musical landscape.
"Focus Your Audio is one of Vancouver's best-kept secrets, but it won't be long before the world realizes just how thoughtful and beautiful their songs are." Adam Hurstfield XOXO Entertainment Corp. (Multi-platinum producer/songwriter)
Mike Young of Mother Mother has been instrumental in shaping their sound, producing and playing on their last three singles: Shades, Over There, On Your Own, which have collectively amassed over 300,000 streams. These tracks have enjoyed national and international radio play, prominent playlist placements (including CD Baby's Canadian Sounds and Netflix's "The Half of It"), and glowing reviews from top publications like Canadian Music Week, Aesthetic Magazine, and The Georgia Straight.
Their 2019 debut EP, recorded at Vancouver's iconic Warehouse Studio with Juno-winning producer Sheldon Zaharko, featured top-tier musicians like Johnny Andrews (Hey Ocean, Tegan & Sara), Mike Young (Mother Mother, Devon Townsend) and Marc Gladstone (Prism). This project earned a nomination for best audio engineering at Breakout West.
Looking ahead, Focus Your Audio is set to release a new single in summer of 2025, co-written and produced by Adam Hurstfield (Loverboy, Ray J, Ne-Yo, Elise Estrada) and distributed through XOXO Entertainment Corp./Believe Music. As they continue to break new ground, Focus Your Audio stands poised to transform from Vancouver’s hidden treasure into a global musical phenomenon.

ANTONIO LAROSA
Antonio Larosa is a country-rock and roots artist whose music blends the grit of blues, the soul of vintage rock, and the storytelling of classic country. With a voice that channels the spirit of Elvis Presley and the emotional weight of Chris Stapleton, Larosa creates songs that are heartfelt, lived-in, and unapologetically honest. Raised in Vancouver, BC, Larosa was drawn to the music of Johnny Cash, The Allman Brothers, BB King, and Roy Orbison from a young age. His music reflects those roots — raw, rhythmic, and filled with sincerity — but filtered through his own lens and life experiences. After years of cutting his teeth on stages across Western Canada, he’s developed a reputation for his electric live shows, where blistering guitar work and vulnerable lyricism meet.
In 2023 & 2025, Larosa was awarded Roots Artist of the Year by the BC Country Music Association — a milestone that affirmed the impact of his music and the path he’s been carving independently. His songs have been featured on Sirius XM and editorial playlists across Spotify and Amazon Music, and he continues to grow a loyal fan base both online and on the road. Whether playing solo or backed by his band, Larosa brings grit, groove, and soul to every performance. His music doesn’t try to follow trends — it’s grounded in feel, truth, and a deep respect for the genre’s past, while pushing forward with his own distinct voice.
