POLARIS-NOMINATED MULTI-DISCIPLINARY ARTIST KIMMORTAL
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS DUCKAI AND SOUND OF SEPARATION
Kimmortal is renowned for their highly conceptual genre-bending musical explorations and lyrical intricacies. The queer non-binary filipinx artist flows between singing and rapping over pop-layered hip hop beats; their signature subversive gusto only complemented with a down-to-earth, human vulnerability. Kimmortal's third album, Shoebox (2023,) expresses the journey from healing intergenerational trauma to celebrating the 2SLGBTQ+ community and their inner child. Their notable sync highlights include their single "This Dyke” appearing on The L Word: Generation Q and On My Way, appearing in Apex Legends Season 19. This past year Kim’s original music for “Sort Of” (out now on HBO, CBC) won Best Original song for Canadian Screen Awards and their music video “Blue and Orange” received Best Music Video at Disorient Asian American film festival.

From production to songwriting to preforming and more, Duckai is a multi-talented artist from Hamilton, Ontario. Bearing the mask for the first time in his 2021 DUCK! EP, his history of creativity presented itself in the form of four gratifyingly unique tracks. Since then, singles such as 2021’s "Stuck" and 2022’s "Stillwater" and "Ghostly Girl" have been feeding the flock and moving the crowds at shows and festivals alike. Duckai’s now released debut album Future Vision sees him taking his wings to new heights with an eight-track concept album filled with gorgeous production, thought-provoking lyrics and expressive vocal performances, all brought to light by himself.
