#Freshfind Astrus live at the Loving Touch
We made a stop today at the Loving touch to catch Call Me Karizma tour, however, we are not here for just Call Me Karizma. We are checking out his opener. ASTRUS* has a bit of a cult following in due part to his skills to release a new song almost every week on Soundcloud. With multiple tracks out now like “Soldier Boy” and “Clean up my mess”, we were excited to see what he had in store. That also meant waiting in line in the hot weather to get as close as we can to the stage. One of the plus sides of the Loving touch venue is how intimate it is.
ASTRUS* was a riot on stage, running around the stage, jumping at any moment the beat dropped., tossing water into the crowd but most of all he took the time to appreciate his fans. A fanmade sign made a fan’s day as she was invited to come on stage to help him sing one of his songs. By the time it was his last song, the crowd was not ready for him to go. He did one last move to end the night, which just happen to be a crowd surf into the somewhat prepared audience. If you thought that was the last chance we were going to see him that night, sadly mistaken. As he teamed up with Call Me Karizma for their song “Burn”. Overall a night to check out, here are the remaining dates of his tour.

Hear about latest track from him now:
Rising Dallas-based musician ASTRUS* shares his latest single today, “Soldier Boy.” The cinematic instrumental covered by Astrus's dramatic and detailed lyrics makes the track perfect in a movie with its main character vibes. "This song was made with the thought of it being in a movie. With another nationwide tour coming up, this is a perfect song to open the set with,” notes Astrus*. “I think it’s a record that everyone can enjoy."
“Soldier Boy” follows his last release, the upbeat and energetic “clean up my mess.” He also heads out on tour supporting Call Me Karizma this fall, kicking off September 11. See all upcoming dates below.
Growing up nothing was ever easy for Astrus* especially when pursuing music. At the age of 13 Astrus* started posting on SoundCloud almost every week. Recording off of a USB microphone and his mom’s computer Astrus* tried everything to make it work. He started posting 1-minute rap videos on Instagram that started to go viral. These videos now would combine a total of 21million + views online. After some success with these videos Astrus* started working on music videos and music that would finally go on to all platforms, dropping around 50+ songs on SoundCloud. He finally released “She wonders why” on all platforms, the song started his whole wave and changed his life forever.
Independently Astrus* would go on to release music, videos, merch, and set up his own concerts. Everything has been going according to plan for the young hispanic artist as he continues to make music for his cult-like following and for the world. From performing at the Roxy to having millions and millions of streams, Astrus* has shown that he is a breath of fresh air in the scene. Perfect music for anybody no matter what age. Astrus* pulls in inspirations from everywhere. As some would best describe his music as a mixture of genres and styles that come together and make something genuine and cute.
