Featuring:
In a world full of micro-influencers, digital grifters, and spon-con hucksters, Vancouver trio Bealby Point offers a simple promise: what you see is what you get.
Formed in 2018, the indie rockers have built a sterling reputation thanks to their polished live performances and intricate, approachable songwriting. Drawing inspiration from modern acts including Spacey Jane, Teenage Dads, and Post Animal, the boys’ signature sound centers on big hooks, big solos, and even bigger grooves.
Since 2022 they have played sold-out shows across Canada, including such notable venues as The Rickshaw Theatre, The Horseshoe Tavern, and The Pearl. With a renewed sense of purpose, Bealby Point wants nothing more than to sit back and enjoy the ride. To chase down a dream on that not-so-distant horizon. They hope you will join them.
Hello! My name is CHLO. I am a Filipina-Canadian R&B/Hip-Hop singer-songwriter with an unapologetic edge that makes me stand out in today’s music scene.
Drawing from my personal experiences, I write about my journey of growing into womanhood, building unshakable confidence, and having fun along the way. My songs are empowering, energetic, and sassy, offering a soundtrack of strength and connection for those who tune in.
My passion for performing was evident from a young age, captivating audiences with both my singing and dancing. Growing up watching my dad tour with the iconic Canadian Hall of Fame band Trooper, I learned how to create performances that are not just memorable but transformative giving others goosebumps like the ones I used to get watching him perform. My stage presence is magnetic, and my energy is infectious.
Cold Fame is a British Columbia-based alt-rock duo led by vocalist Jodi Pederson and multi-instrumentalist Damian Anthony. Blending gritty rock energy with infectious hooks and explosive feminine power, the duo has quickly made its mark on Canadian radio. Their breakout single “Hello Reaper” spent nine weeks in the Canadian Alternative Radio Top 40, while “Jawbreaker” peaked at #13. Following the release of “Fight Like a Man” and a Western Canadian tour with Freeze The Fall (604 Records), Cold Fame continues to build momentum with major sync placements across Netflix, CBC, and Hallmark productions.
Connor Roff is a Vancouver-based queer singer-songwriter with Canadian-British roots and a richly layered folk sound. A classically trained pianist and self-taught guitarist, his music draws on artists like Perfume Genius, Jeff Buckley, and Rufus Wainwright — intimate, soulful, and deeply personal.
His debut LP Brighter Than the Night (2024), funded by Creative BC's Amplify Grant, earned features in over 100 publications including Exclaim!, CBC Radio play across Canada, and 45,000+ Spotify streams. He has performed at Tiny Lights Festival, opened for Andrew Cushin at The Biltmore, and played stages from Union Chapel in London (700 people) to Lululemon's Shipyards Summer Session (400 people). His TikTok following grew over 16x in just 10 months, reflecting a fast-growing online presence across Canada, the US, and UK.
Also a yoga teacher and advocate for queer mental health, Connor is currently at work on his sophomore album, due in 2027.
Revay is a Vancouver-based Punjabi Canadian R&B, soul, and pop artist. Her work blends contemporary songwriting with cultural storytelling, centering authenticity, emotional connection, and representation for Punjabi women in music. With 37 released tracks she is building a sustainable independent career. Most recently she released her latest project ‘Nasha’ - meaning intoxicated in Punjabi in collaboration with Grammy and Juno-winning producer Chin Injeti.
