Programming

12pm - Véloce André

Véloce André, originally from Hawkesbury, Ontario, is a versatile and passionate artist who pushes the boundaries of musical creativity. His love for art in all its forms is evident in his unique style and his desire to create something authentic. He is now embarking on a solo career in French after years on the anglophone music scene.

Véloce aims to offer a metal sound laced with softness. His self-produced compositions sometimes use electro demos, sometimes the metallic sound of an electric guitar, creating a journey where beauty is found in imperfection. Even distortion becomes an instrument for Véloce.

He invites you to dive headfirst into his cyberpunk universe with the single "Maison de Verre," released in November 2023, or to discover his tribute to his apparent influences with the track "Chaos," his latest single. 

12:55pm - King H 509

King H 509 finally decided to launch his artistic career in May 2017. In October of that same year, he released an Extended Play, commonly known as an EP. Eventually, King H 509 decided to pursue a major career in this field and chose the Trap Konpa and Afrobeat trends. To date, his repertoire includes two EPs, a solo album, and features such as the track "Millions," which has over 50,000 views on YouTube and more than 10,000 listens on Spotify. Over the course of seven years, the artist has lent his voice to around thirty tracks.
