Joanna Mohammed (aka Aphrose) is a Toronto-based soul music artist. Raised in a Trinidadian household in the culturally diverse neighbourhoods of Scarborough, Aphrose's musical tastes run wide and deep with apparent reverence for soul greats like Aretha Franklin to Amy Winehouse. With a reputation for powerful R&B vocal stylings, she has previously worked with heavyweights like Daniel Caesar and Jessie Reyez, to name a few. Stepping out on her own as a solo artist under the name Aphrose, she has earned national acclamation for her 2019 debut album
Element - including tour support for Moon Vs Sun (Chantal Kreviazuk & Raine Maida), song placement on CBC drama series Diggstown, a spot lending her vocals to a Sportsnet 2019 NBA Finals commercial, and over 300,000 plays on Spotify. Aphrose is currently working on her sophomore album,
Roses, set for release in Fall of 2023.
