Canadian singer/songwriter, videographer and engineer **Ali Hugo** returns with 
the inspiring new single, “There’s A Light Out There.”

The single is the first release from his upcoming new album of the same name.

The song, he says, ” is a tribute to the kind of music I grew up listening to on
the radio in Ontario. This was also the first time that I did not write down the
lyrics,” he adds. Rather, he wrote and sang the lyrics after the musical composition
was nailed down. Further, he wrote the song specifically to perform live on the 
road.

“The singing style is different than anything I’ve recorded before,” he adds, “it
was important for me to stay true to my influences which was not so hard for me 
because I grew up actively listening to this kind of music.”

“However, while in the studio, instead of picturing a video concept that could accompany
the song,” he writes, “I kept picturing shorts, reels, and spotlights and that gave
me more room to maneuver my way around the song both musically and vocally.”

“Also, I wanted the song to have the right balance between the feel of city life
as well as a small town so a listener in Vancouver or someone from a small town 
in Nova Scotia, that is; both listeners would be able to connect to the song.”

Hugo plays keyboardist, music, video producer, dancer, sound engineer. He used PreSonus
and Yamaha keys for this production.

Hugo will be performing a number of shows throughout the Ontario area in the coming
months.

** Background**

Ali Hugo started his music career at the early age of eight when he joined his family’s
band, Leo,  as the lead singer.

After attending university, Hugo set out to start a career in music.

His debut album charted into the top ten on the global indie charts and the hit 
single “Tears of a Broken Heart”.  Hugo has continued to pursue his music and video
production career since then, releasing an EP titled _Time Machine_ – which he says:“
used a complex engineering process to transport the songs into the digital streaming
age.”

The album generated three indie hit singles and earned Hugo a gold record from his
Canadian label Mirage Records. He also produced the  _Time Machine Rockumentary_
that documents the _Time Machine_ project.

Hugo’s rockumentary was a finalist at The Carey Movie Festival in North Carolina.
