Every artist has a story, and this week's guest on The Proximity Playlist, presented by WanderLinger, has a journey that's taken him from Toronto to all over the world.

While making his way through Tennessee with The Big City Night Band, Canadian singer-songwriter Armando stopped by the Hits 96 studio to talk with Gino D about music, life on tour, and the experiences that have shaped his career. The visit came during a Tennessee tour that included stops in Nashville, Chattanooga, Murfreesboro, and Manchester, giving Armando the opportunity to connect with new audiences across the state.

In this bonus episode, Armando shares how he got started in music, what it's like traveling and performing with his band, and the inspiration behind his releases, "Love Again", "4th of July," and "Broken Glass". The conversation also dives into the creative process, building a fanbase beyond Canada, and what listeners can expect from him in the months ahead.

Whether you're discovering Armando for the first time or you've already become a fan, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at an artist who's passionate about connecting with people through music.
