His music has been released on several record labels including Hi-Bias Records, Odeon Records, Popular Records, SPG Music Records, Universal Music Canada, BMG Music Canada, and BMG Music Poland. In 1995, Ared co-wrote the hit single Open Up Your Heart that charted at number 1 across Canada, as well as 3 top ten singles to follow which he co-wrote and co-produced.
