Featuring:
C.J.
C.J. presents “Rooted in Love,” a set of songs in the style of Soul/R&B celebrating People of Colour including their Filipino and Jamaican roots. Their acoustic set will explore love through the lens of diverse artists who have paved the way for Soul and R&B today. Their set will also include some contemporary artists with songs that have inspired them as young artists as well as in their personal lives.
R O Y A
R O Y A is a songstress blending pop, jazz and her middle eastern roots into a soulful expression of truth. Mixing the sounds of acoustic guitars, folk rhythms, and jazz infused melodies,
Roya encaptures her audiences with direct but poetic encounters. Her work centres on themes of identity and belonging as a biracial woman growing up in northern Canada, with roots in Iran and Ukraine.
Roya‘s debut album “Breath and Being” will be released on Bent River Records in spring 2022.

HAIDEE
HAIDEE is an up and coming Pop/ R&B singer-songwriter. Her most recent release ”2U,” features FITZGERVLD, a fresh, carefree sound, and effortlessly agile vocals. Her debut EP, coyly titled ”An EP,’ was released June 26th, 2020. She released her debut single ”Unsteady” in March with follow-up singles ”193” and ”Nice Guy” which were lauded as being fresh, straightforward, and sincere. Influenced by female pop/ R&B heroes like Julia Michaels, Niki, and UMI, HAIDEE writes and records her music in a cozy basement studio in an effort to preserve the emotional honesty of her music. ”There is something about not tracking in a traditional studio that keeps me authentic and vulnerable rather than feeling like I am performing, where I am more critical of myself,” she explains.
