On My Own Two Feet is a showcase of three artists who exude independence and ingenuity in their approach to making and performing music. Vocalists and emcees self-accompanying with a mix of live instruments, playback, and looping means that these artists are in total command of their creative output, resulting in a completely undiluted, authentic artistic expression.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

dichotomi has constantly battled between their two innate natures – a creative side full of wanderlust and powerful emotional energy, and a critical, scientific side approaching life through a lens of practicality. Eventually they realized that they can exist as two things at once, which inspired the name “dichotomi” and resonates through their relaxed, uplifting sound & witty lyricism.

Xéynamay is a Toronto-based artist who expresses stories through music, film, and movement. Her debut EP, “Bole Rd.,” is inspired by the lively sounds of Disco, Ethio Azmari music, and Jazz. Embracing the multidisciplinary nature of art, she sees a song as a creation that can evolve from movement or colors into a sonic representation of emotion. She approaches art as a journey of exploration and healing. Ultimately, Xéynamay aims to create art that invites everyone to join her on Cloud Nine.

Shannon Chapman is a multifaceted neo-soul artist & producer drawing positive press for her sophisticated approach to songwriting, arranging and production. A multi-instrumentalist, Shannon’s signature palette of sultry woodwinds, lush jazz harmony, smooth vocals and laid-back grooves melt together into a mellow and funky soundscape. On her forthcoming EP ‘Playing Games”, Shannon wistfully embraces fresh starts, self-empowerment, and authenticity.

Gao the Arsonist spreads the sludge to Toronto with grimy, punk-infused Alternative Hip-hop and hauntingly psychedelic soundscapes

Gao the Arsonist plays unsettling, experimental rap for fans of Danny Brown, JPEGMAFIA and Odd Future. Gao the Arsonist has his UK roots burrowed in the grimiest spaces of Alternative Hip hop. Coming off the back of his independent tour, Gao returns to Toronto with a vengeance.

Empty Sentiment comes from the school of clunky drums and ghostly samples that MF DOOM revolutionized, Empty Sentiment brings an uncanny reflection of the genre to Toronto.

🎷LATE NIGHT JAM at the Painted Lady 🎷 Join Oleyada and Jessie Vickery to celebrate the release of her debut EP.

Jessie Vickery is a singer/songwriter from Waterloo, Ontario before moving to Toronto. She started off playing at small events, performing with KW Glee, posting covers and original songs online.
