Guest songwriters
Izabel
J3M
Blending pop, disco & R&B, J3M shares stories & melodies that'll live in your head rent-free. The award-winning singer/songwriter/producer has collaborated with Canada's most promising artists (LU KALA, Yukon Blonde, Tanika Charles) & performs locally & internationally. His EP "AFRONAUT" which made its debut on CBC Q, is out now!!
Having been diagnosed with mental illness at a young age, learning to cope with it came naturally to Izabel in the form of music. In her words “my sound is constantly evolving so it’s hard to categorize it into a single box. For the most part you can expect alternative/indie pop with inspiration from “The Neighbourhood, Halsey, Lennon Stella, etc”. Only 2 years into taking her passion seriously, she would find herself getting support by the grammy award winning artists “The Chainsmokers”, and accumulate over 2.2 million streams on Spotify alone! Now with over 135k followers on social media platform “Tik Tok” in addition to other platforms, she continues to reach new people daily. Her goal is to continue reaching new people and to transport listeners through music and visuals into a different world.
