I simply see no better improvement here and if it wasn't for the claims, this could've easily been A7 and subsequently PROD as well and the best my searches found were this and this. Pinging the only still active past users and  as AwamerT and Thparkth are not much active. SwisterTwister  talk  06:35, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment. I declined a speedy deletion nomination early in this article's history due to its claims of significance. Those claims remain unsourced, and the article includes a lot of name-dropping. The big question is, does this artist meet any of the criteria in WP:MUSICBIO? Clearly he doesn't meet #1 (coverage); the only coverage actually cited is an NPR piece that briefly quotes him, and the other claimed coverage is unsourced. But if the label "Happiness Records" is notable, he'd meet criterion #5. Having three #1 radio hits (also unsourced) might qualify for criterion #9 or #11. This bears further investigation, possibly something WP:ARS might want to take on. ~Amatulić (talk) 14:30, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Comment: There appear to be loads of links, but which are reliable I have no idea. ghytred talk 17:15, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - He's a Grammy-nominated artist (see this). Gotten a bit of press at lots of niche music sites, as well as some reliable sources such as the Asheville NC paper, the Allentown, PA paper, and The Republic. The article is in poor shape right now, but this needs improvement, not deletion, in my opinion. Unsourced claims should be tagged or deleted, as this is a BLP.

 * Keep Our music standards are rock-bottom and the most minor dubstep or hip-hop artist can defend an article here simply because their 4chan fanbase is vocal. Here's a real performer with a list of releases (actual round things that were pressed by a real label with tax returns, not just downloads by their mates) and who walked the carpet at this years Grammys. I'm not going to rush out and listen to this, but it does deserve its article. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:57, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
