Top Canadian Artists To Watch in 2024
Cheska Cruz
“Most up and coming recording artists have a habit of imitating those who’ve been in the industry. It’s hard to blame them, with most of the creativity in music being taken. Finding a dedicated passion towards the art can be a challenge, yet Cheska Cruz took that with ease… Growing up surrounded by instruments and people that inspired her to hone her craft has shaped her into a motivated, capable and intuitive artist. Cheska has started to branch out in her career by songwriting for various artists, as well as performing live in various cities such as Windsor, Toronto, and Detroit. With a promising trajectory, Cheska Cruz is undoubtedly an artist to keep your eye (or ear) on.” // Discover more on Spotify…
FKA Rayne
“FKA Rayne is an alternative singer and songwriter from Vancouver BC. The 20 year old artist is already creating waves in the Canadian and international music scene and proving herself a force to be reckoned with. Her unique sound pairs elements from her prior stint as a pop musician alongside heavy, industrial and nu-metal influenced production and song structure… FKA Rayne’s newest single ‘Loathe’ is a distinctive, industrial rock track, harkening back to the late 90’s and early 2000’s alternative scene. It’s available now on all streaming platforms.” // Discover more on Spotify…
Jesse Roper
“Canadian rocker Jesse Roper is back with his new album, ‘Horizons’…. There’s a depth, a vulnerability, to this new body of work that hasn’t necessarily been at the forefront of Roper’s previous offerings. With a richer infusion of vintage rhythm and blues as background, Roper’s unique, soulful vocals are given space to soar. The result brings to mind sun-baked, dusty roads and hot, sticky nights on crowded dance floors. Like contemporaries Nathaniel Rateliff and Jack White, Roper tells his story with heart. The heart of ‘Horizons’ is propelled forward by pulsing percussion and undulating guitar, with Roper’s expansive vocals taking centre stage. The layered production style lends to a mysterious, almost seductive, edge to Roper’s soulful refrains; it tantalizes and charms, hooking the listener in.” // Discover more on Spotify…
Kay Bandz
“Representing the realities of growing up in Montreal’s east end, Kay Bandz’s story is one of a man who had to become resourceful at a young age living in an unfavored environment. The rapper started regularly releasing music as early as 2013. Being heavily influenced by musical movements in Chicago and Atlanta, his music previously attracted the attention of members from Chief Keef’s label, leading to collaborations with the likes of G Herbo, Capo and Tadeo… Behind the showcased lavish lifestyle lies the story of a man with a heavy emotional past, a driven present and an undeniably successful future. The North American rapper is now ready to make waves with his upcoming album Charge it to the Game, slated for fall 2022.” // Discover more on Spotify…

Loving
“…Following in the path of their debut EP, If1 Am Only My Thoughts (2020) was home recorded and represents a deeper exploration of the band’s creative process – a process marked by an appreciation for the generative limitations of recording to tape. The resulting album constructs a warm and dreamy sonic landscape kept adrift by existentially oriented lyrics and an unspecified all-encompassing sense of nostalgia. With Lucas Henderson having departed the project to pursue other interests, David and Jesse are currently finishing work on a new album due for release in 2024.” // Discover more on Spotify…
