I am an art-hop rapper based out of Toronto, Canada, where I have lived for the last five years. I originally hail from Regina, Saskatchewan where I was born and raised. The geographical transition from a small prairie city of relative isolation to the fourth largest city in North America, was a dream fulfilled. I have always had a crush on big cities, specifically New York City. I consider myself a “copycat” New Yorker, and even though I have lived in Toronto for some time, my love for the prairies will always be part of my essence. The environment that I grew up in was and still is to my creative cylinders as close to my heart as the frenetic urban world of “Torontoism”.
Apart from rapping I also work as intermedia artist, primarily in video, drawing and performance. I don’t tend to separate any of it though — raps, images, videos, drawings, they all come from the same place and are addressing the same narrative that lives inside of me, that being my subjective and bizarre experience with the human condition.
What's next? More rapping and collaborations! My next album is titled MUSEUMARANG and focuses in on the conceptual side of things. Stay tuned! I am currently collaborating on projects with artists, Ira Lee (Berlin); Polly Say Phalle (Paris); VHS HISS (Austin, TX); and xxlvannaxx (Forest, USA). My dream is to work with Sade, but I’d settle on just meeting her.
