| Wotts is an Ottawa, Canada based band that fuses hip-hop with psychedelic and indie pop. Since forming, Wotts has evolved its sound through experimentation, always blurring genre lines. Having originally started by making music backed with beatbox, the band has since focused on melding the lush sounds of its influences, which include Tyler The Creator, Tame Impala and Gorillaz.
Wotts has hit the stages of RBC Bluesfest, Canadian Music Week and JUNOfest and has received shoutouts for their work from several publications including PopMatters (U.S), Apt613 (Canada) and RIDE Music (UK).

| Keith is a graduate of Cambrian College in Sudbury Ontario with a Music Performance diploma. He has performed in numerous festivals including “The Fringe” in Edinburgh, Scotland and the “Summer Solstice Festival” in Ottawa and has also composed music for radio commercials. At age 16, Keith went to Cambrian College as a guitar major and became inspired when he was introduced to Baroque, Classical, Romantic and 20th Century music. Being exposed to exotic sounds from around the world had a profound impact on the way he approached performing, learning and composing music. After attending a concert where he heard piano virtuoso Dr. Charlene Biggs, he developed a new love for the instrument. This led him to switch his major to piano and study under Dr. Charlene Biggs. Keith began music lessons with Olivier Hubert and Gontran Hubert, and has also studied with Kenneth Van Barthold in Scotland and with Dr. Ireneus Zuk at Queen’s University in Kingston.

|
| Brock Tinsley and Ian Nichols form the nucleus of Double Experience, featuring a host of in-studio and onstage collaborators such as Fred Mascherino (ex-Taking Back Sunday). Live performance is important to Double Experience. Having played almost 750 shows in 18 countries over the last 5 years, the band has performed at MAGFest, GuardianCon, Ottawa ComicCon, Montreal ComicCon, YetiCon, and ThunderCon. The band has shared the stage with Danko Jones, MC Lars, Monster Truck and more, expanding their fanbase exponentially since their 2014 inception. The band has earned its notoriety by staying true to the members’ interests. They wrote “The Glimmer Shot” as an earnest tribute to the video game Destiny. The game developers, Bungie, took notice of the enthusiastic reaction to the track and showered the band with in-game rewards. Fans showered the band with over a half-million streams on Spotify alone. “Ian and I believe that rock music can still be vital and accessible, without being pastiche,” says Tinsley. “In fact, it’s more honest for our band to write about how passionate we feel about specific pop culture than it is to write about blanket, angry emotions. We don’t want to hold onto those emotions during the best years of our lives.”

Other showcase opportunities for the band include Megaphono Ottawa, and the Big Money Shot. Consisting of Alex Boyd, Max Gibson, Jeff Cook and Taylor Harris, the band has drawn early influences from acts like Coldplay, Kings of Leon, and The Killers to create their own brand of music. With a high-energy live show and a robust back catalogue of music to choose from, The Riot Police are looking for international exposure as they move into the future.
