Noirceur absolue
LeFLOFRANCO ft. Tha Incradouble Pack, Dj Skorpyon - s/t Canadian New
Pour son 5e single, LeFLOFRANCO re-collabore avec DJ UNPIER et élargit ses horizons en invitant une artiste de la scène musicale émergente du Québec ; Georgette.

Ce titre electro-pop-house signé DJ UNPIER se distingue de leurs autres collaborations. Tout en invitant les auditeurs sur la piste de danse, les plumes et voix du FLOFRANCO et de Georgette se marient pour explorer vulnérablement le début de la fin d'une histoire d'amour.

Graham Lindsey ft. Carole Bestvater, Jesse Périard & Leonard Podolak - The Next Best Thing Canadian
Graham Lindsey is a multi-instrumentalist and composer, writing inventive and varied tunes. His compositions don’t follow the traditional Irish, Scottish or other Celtic styles, and the subtle differences bring a unique feel and rhythm to each tune. Graham was nominated for his 2019 album “TradHead” by the Canadian Folk Music Awards in the Instrumental Solo Artist category (2020).

A total of six of Graham’s compositions have been played on the Carillon (the 53 bells) in the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill in Canada’s Capital, Ottawa. Three were played through the summer of 2017 as part of the recital series on the Carillon. This was followed-up in 2019 by a performance of a fourth tune, “The Carillonneur”, dedicated to Dominion Carillonneur, Dr. Andrea McCrady who arranges many of the tunes she plays, and performs them daily, live! Two more tunes will ring from the bells in 2020!

Eazy Finesse Prod. Ablocc Beats - s/t Canadian New
Be Mine
Eazy Finesse - s/t Canadian New
Eazy Finesse, a multi-talented female artist coming out of Ottawa, Ontario, has been doing music as a solo artist since December 2020. Starting in 2018 as 1 of the 4 members of a girl group (that no longer exists), Eazy later decided to branch off into a solo artist career. Born in Ottawa, Eazy brings a different vibe through her music. From inspirations such as Jazmine Sullivan to MoneyBagg Yo, the versatility speaks through her music! She started creating music in 2018, but really knew music was her passion long before back in 2012, when she started to write music. Her goal is to show and empower other female artists that they can just be themselves and do the things that they love with no doubts, and to not let the media be something that should control how they go about their future! Eazy is currently 22 years old, and with placements on Hot 89.9 and in the Ottawa Citizen Newspaper, has decided that she would pursue her dream of music full-time and has continued to do just that!

je ne suis pas stupide
Sofia Duhaime - s/t Canadian
I'm a bilingual singer-songwriter from the Ottawa/ Gatineau region. I'm 19 years old, and I've been writing and performing for about 5 years now. I write in both French and English, accompanied with my guitar or autoharp. I perform and am inspired by so many genres, but mainly Nouvelle chanson (Pierre Lapointe, Françoise Hardy), Folk (Bob Dylan, the Lumineers), classic rock (Beatles, Fleewood Mac) and many others (Amy Winehouse, etc). I've had the amazing opportunity to record my first song Miraculeux at the lovely ArtHaus studio in Toronto. This was my first time connecting with people from the industry, which led me to be the opening act to one of Serena Ryder's shows in Ottawa. I've since then recorded an EP, which will be released in the summer of 2022, and am performing around my region, including some dates in Montreal!
