Hip-Hop/Rap
Canadian r&b-reggae/dancehall fusion artist Omega Mighty has an eclectic sound, switching from Jamaican patois, sultry vocals and an energetic rap flow with confidence. Her 2021 EP "Me & Youforia" put her on the map with the exploration of genres such as r&b, dancehall-reggae, afro-beats and pop.
In 2023, Omega independently released her sophomore EP “Notorious & Noble” featuring lead single “Rush Dem”, earning her a Juno award nomination for Reggae Recording of the year. With over 200,000 project streams on Spotify, the EP peaked at #5 on CFUV’s top 30 charts, #1 on the international chart, #1 on the r&b/soul chart and #47 on !earshot national top 50, landing her the cover of “Fresh Finds Canada” playlist on Spotify. As an alumni of the SOCAN Foundation Entrepreneurship program and VIFF cohort 2023, Omega is trailblazing the Canadian music scene with her unique sound.
Born to a Jamaican father and British-Bajan mother, playing records at home is one of Omega's earliest memories. She started training in classical piano at the age of 4, vocal by age 6 and dance by age 9. Born and raised in Toronto - known as one of the most diverse cities in the world, has exposed Omega to a variety of rich culture, helping to shape her sound. By age 11, Omega and her family relocated to a city on the outskirts of Toronto, known as Brampton, Ontario.
Having recently joined Paquin Artists Agency, Omega has been seen gracing the stages of various festivals including RBC Canadian Open, Canada Day Vancouver, Riverfest, AfrowaveTO and more opening for acts such as Flo rida, Fefe Dobson, Jesse Royal and the legendary band The Wailers. Inspired by 90's r&b and new age music alike, Omega draws influence from artists such as Rihanna, Wstrn, Doja Cat, Missy Elliott, Brandy, Stefflon don and Vybz Kartel.
Her live performance encompasses smooth sultry vocals, vibrant movement and a militant aura. As a multi-disciplinary artist, Omega has joined the Junos as a presenter and movement coach tying together performances for acts such as Bbno$, Maestro Fresh Wes, Tenille Townes and more, wearing titles of singer-songwriter, dancer, producer, host and creative director.

Charlie Edward is a 20 year old young gun originally from London, Ontario. ROCK N ROLL was what this kid was born to do.
After some time in LA working with Foreigner’s Jeff Pilson, Charlie caught the attention of Marlon Young who discovered/produced Greta Van Fleet and plays guitar for Kid Rock. He has also worked with the likes of Garth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine), Robert DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots), Luke Bentham (The Dirty Nil), Colin MacDonald (The Trews) and many more.
Usually seen on the side-lines playing lead guitar for other acts or writing music in private, Charlie decided to take a risk and put it all out there after some encouragement from fellow musicians in California.
He may be small in stature but this kid will SET YOU STRAIGHT with his wide vocal range and monster guitar tones.

Andrew Hyatt
Country
In just a few short years, Andrew Hyatt has amassed tens of millions of streams and video views, Top 10s on major market stations, won the 2022 Canadian Country Music Association Award for Rising Star, was nominated for Album of the Year and received nominations from the Country Music Association of Ontario, and won the prestigious “Top of the Country” title from Sirius XM. Hyatt has also had the honour of performing in high-profile slots on prominent festival stages and tours alongside stars like Dallas Smith, Dean Brody, and Tim Hicks (to name a few).
All are impressive feats for an artist whose pedigree goes far beyond country music and its ilk. “I’m kind of a musical mutt when it comes to my influences,” Hyatt jokes, walking through his journey from Christian rock in his younger years to alt-rock and punk in his teens. Country icons like George Strait and Alan Jackson came next, followed by more recent chart-toppers like Eric Church and Sturgill Simpson. And while not always tangibly, those tinges of other genres and styles are seamlessly woven throughout his latest work.
His latest EP, L is For, is easily Hyatt’s most personal record to date. “The last twelve months, I’ve been through hell and I used writing as a tool for healing. Every song on this record details a separate stage of coming to terms with a separation and that betrayal.” Hyatt looks forward to sharing his story at some exciting upcoming shows in the new year, giving fans the opportunity to hear the more personal side of Hyatt.

Phénomène de la streamosphère, Aswell comptabilise déjà plus de 25 millions d’écoutes sur l’ensemble de ses pièces avant même la parution de son premier album Banlieue au printemps 2024. Entre rap, emo rap, pop et folk québécois, cet album se distingue par des flows très mélodiques et accrocheurs. Aswell y distille des textes très personnels, d’une authenticité qui transparaît dans chacune des ses chansons, qu’il s’exprime de manière crue ou métaphorique. «Reflets des 24 dernières années de sa vie» selon le principal intéressé, les thèmes s’entremêlent entre amours infructueux (Make It Alright, Next, Misère, Flashback) et nostalgie (Loyseau, J’passe mon temps, Où je m’en vais). Succès instantané sur les canaux numériques, nul doute que cet album écrira en lettres majuscules les prochaines années de sa vie.
Entièrement produit, mixé et masterisé par ses soins, le premier EP d’Aswell voit le jour en 2021 sous le nom évocateur de Solo. Inspiré par des artistes tels que Juice Wrld, The Kid Laroi ou Lomepal, l’artiste situe cet opus entre pop rap et emo rap, faisant la part belle aux mélodies et aux flows chantés, gages d’accessibilité à un large public. Le narratif, assez introspectif, est essentiellement centré sur des sujets comme l’échec amoureux, le regret et le vide existentiel. Un coup d’essai réussi qui vaut à Aswell d’être cité par la SOCAN comme l’un des cinq rappeurs à surveiller en 2021. S’ensuivent une tournée à guichets fermés et des prestations mémorables devant plusieurs milliers de spectateurs dans les festivals de la province (Francos de Montréal, Festivoix de Trois-Rivières, Le Festif! de Baie-Saint-Paul… ) L’occasion pour le public de découvrir un performeur hors du commun, débordant d’énergie et capable d’enflammer les foules.
