nrthsound

Stefen has been creating his own unique music for over a decade, never giving a *@#! about what other people want him to sound like. He never took music for granted, he never sold out, he never got big, but he never went home. Originally from a farm in rural BC, in Western Canada, he bought a guitar when he was 17 and learned by playing blues and rock music in small town dive bars. Eventually he bought a laptop and taught himself to produce basic beats. 

He channeled his gritty, rough and wild rural upbringing into creating music, often beautiful experimental soundscapes, often political, often angry. After spending a couple years in northern BC working in the frozen isolation as a pipefitting, he started his project nrthsound. Now he draws on his wide experiences in life - from shoveling cow crap on the farm, from clipping pot in the neighbour's barn, from physically demanding pipefitting, to going to university, to working in government offices, to running his own business - to give everything he creates perspective, by keeping a humble and humourous approach at the core of his art.

Fibz

Tommy B has always had passion for all music. He started his rap career at 16, freestyling and battling in Calgary, Alberta, and eventually running his own hip hop night in the 403. After dealing with some life shattering experiences, Fibz left town and moved out west to Vancouver. He continued to pursue music, living with two audio engineers rappers. They created Blankspace and made noise around Vancouver, releases an LP, rocking shows, contests and battles.

After Blankspace eventually seperated, Fibz kept his skills sharp with battlerap, including features on the King of the Dot and Smoked Out battle leagues. Freestyling has always been his favorite part of music, and it was freestyling that brought Tommy and Stefen together after they met working for a painting company. Whether its at a party or on a train, or for your grandma, Fibz can kick a cypher no doubt.
