RUTH B FOUND A HIT WITH LOST BOY [VIDEO]

Ruth B’s song Lost Boy got its start in a fairytale kinda way! Just two years ago Ruth was a teenager playing piano and singing covers, then uploading them to Vine from her childhood bedroom. But it was the day that the Canadian singer/songwriter and college student had finished binge watching the TV show Once Upon A Time that the real magic began. Ruth sat at her keyboard and played around with random chords singing different words. One of the lines she sang was: “I am a lost boy from Neverland, usually hanging out with Peter Pan”. Ruth said she didn’t think much of it but she posted it on Vine because it kept ringing in her head. One week later the Vine of that little line had 85,000 likes with people asking for more. So Ruth would come home after school and write a new line to the song and post it, eventually she says “I had a chorus”. Amazingly, Vine users were able to see the evolution of the song in real-time. It didn’t take long for major-labels to find those Lost Boy snippets and soon Ruth’s desires to become a lawyer were sprinkled with pixie dust and turned into musical dreams.

I’ll be sprinkling pixie dust on the ones and twos this weekend when I bring you an exclusive HK remix of Ruth B’s Lost Boys that will have Peter Pan jammin! Get your party pants on cause I'm also featuring exclusives this week on Justin Timberlake, Flume f/Kai, Zayn, G-Eazy/Bebe Rexha, Pink, Mike Posner, Twenty One Pilots and more!

HK TALKS WITH SHAWN HOOK - THIS WEEK ON IN THE MIX WITH HK™

Hot off appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Entertainment Tonight  Shawn Hook joins me this weekend to chat about Canadian fans vs U.S. fans, the long road to success and so much more! His current track Sound Of Your Heart (clicking over 30,000,000 streams on Spotify) introduced him to America but this Canadian singer, songwriter and producer is no overnight success. At the age of 4, Shawn studied piano at The Royal Conservatory and by high school he was playing piano and trombone in a jazz big band while writing and recording his own music. Shawn went on to the Art Institute in Vancouver to study audio engineering. Then in 2004 he released his first album and his passion for music has been growing ever since!

HK REMIXES A QUINCY JONES REMAKE

Grace is the 19 year old Australian, singer songwriter who is making noise with her rendition of You Don’t Know Me, the 60’s hit that was originally produced by Quincy Jones for Lesley Gore. After meeting Grace at a charity benefit and hearing her sultry moody voice, Jones suggested the two hit the studio to remake You Don’t Know Me. Amazingly, Grace was exactly Gore’s age when Quincy produced the hit for her. On this go round G-Eazy adds his rhymes, pumping this iconic feminist anthem up with some 21^st century flava. I’m gonna be pumpin’ up the jam this weekend when I remix the remake!

Get ready to turn the volume up when I bust the groves with exclusive HK remixes on Justin Bieber, Twenty One Pilots, Shawn Hook and Flo Rida.
