Artist Lineup
SallieMae (they/them) has a passion for storytelling through sweet melodies and intentional words. Born and raised in Calgary – this Filipinx singer/songwriter is raising their voice by curating a meaningful sound and creating their own spaces to express their identity. @mae.maamsir
Lanice Chep (they/them) is a non-binary singer-songwriter who has an affinity for all things honest and heartfelt, and creates a relaxing coffee shop-esque atmosphere for the audience. Charming, awkward, ridiculous and will play your heartstrings like a guitar. @homoiswheretheheartis69
Damase Elis (she/her) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Calgary, Alberta. With Métis and Colombian roots, she draws inspiration from her unique position between cultures as a lesbian, using her music as a way to explore identity and self-discovery. @damase_elise
ZENON (they/them) is a bi-racial, non-binary singer whose sound is rooted in Soul; sometimes chill, sometimes sassy, always resonating with lovers of thought-provoking lyrics and soul filled grooves. ZENON’s second single What It Was garnered two awards and their debut album GENRE Z was nominated in multiple categories at the 2023 YYC Music Awards and in the R&B/Soul category at Western Canadian Music Awards. @z.enon
