Ariel Posen is a Winnipeg, Canada slide guitarist/singer-songwriter; Ash Soan (b. 1969, UK) is a session drummer who has played for Adele, Seal and Snow Patrol. "Gotta Start Somewhere" (2:47) is track 3 on their joint album Ash Soan & Ariel Posen, released 9 May 2025 on Dine Alone Music (10 tracks), recorded at Hotel2Tango studio in Montreal (per Posen's X/Twitter). Posen received a signature Fender Stratocaster model in 2025 (Winnipeg Free Press, 25 July 2025). His previous solo albums are Mile End (2021) and Headway (2021).
TikTok angle: Framed as a collaboration between a Canadian slide guitarist and a British session drummer — pitched as 'absolute filth,' the grooviest and rawest track of the year.
