VIBI

VIBI is a Canadian singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles. Blending raspy vocals, singer-songwriter storytelling, and Scandi-pop sensibilities, she can effortlessly captivate an audience of 6 or 60,000 just the same.

Mentored under Stargate (Rihanna, Katy Perry, Sam Smith) , VIBI released her project “Rain In California'' where multiple songs landed her Spotify editorial playlists “Fresh Finds”, “Fresh Finds Pop” and Amazon Music's “Brand New Music”. VIBI is also recognized for her performance opening for Bryan Adams to an audience of approximately 60,000 people. Internationally, VIBI's songwriting skills have proven to be undeniable as she took home the John Lennon Songwriting Competition grand prize in the pop genre.

This year VIBI has been ferociously releasing new music, making a plethora of content that has garnered her viral attention (25k+ TikTok followers and 2.7 million likes), and been in the studio writing her highly anticipated debut project to be released next year. 

 

Housewife

Based in Toronto, Brighid Fry (they / she) likes to describe Housewife as a project comprised of anyone who collaborates with her — in Nashville, Los Angeles, and New York City-based recording studios, or on tour everywhere across North America. Mostly recently Fry traveled to Nashville to write and record these songs and others with music industry mainstays like producer and multi-instrumentalist Gabe Simon (Lana Del Rey, Dua Lipa, Anderson .Paak), writer and producer Carrie K (PVRIS, The Regrettes), performer and producer Mikky Ekko (Rihanna, Vince Staples, Diplo), and indie pop artist Young Summer.

Beneath the singalong hooks and top-notch production, Fry’s self-awareness and lyrical poignancy shines just as brightly. Having written music since she was 14 years old, Fry’s musical style has evolved from her parents’ folksong influences, to her self-described early-teenaged emo phase, to this contemporary amalgamation of rock, pop, and lo-fi— all buoyed by her natural gift for melody.
