The Blue
Introduced to the world of hip hop through rap giants The Fugees, Calgary rapper The Blue’s music reflects a fusion of this early influence and waves of new school. He and his band bring this sound to life in a high-energy performance.
Building on his early influences, The Blue has carved out a niche for himself in the hip-hop landscape, drawing from a diverse range of styles to create his own sound. His 2022 album “Things Could Be Worse” provided upbeat, soul fueled beats and melodies that saw The Blue nominated for Rap Recording of the Year at the 2023 YYC Music Awards.
Beyond his solo endeavors, The Blue has also made a name for himself as a formidable live performer, captivating audiences with his magnetic stage presence and the energy of his live band. He has supported Shad, k-os, SonReal, Dragonette, Snak the Ripper, Down With Webster, Swollen Members, and more.

Bijaan
With roots stretching across India, East Africa, and Canada, Bijaan is the definition of a global artist. Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta as a first generation Canadian to immigrant parents, Bijaan’s love for music was evident at a young age. Not overly intrigued by the dominant country music landscape in Western Canada, Bijaan was instead drawn to the warmth and soul of his father’s Motown record collection and the grit and lyricism of late 90’s hip-hop.
Penning his first song in the 6th grade, hip-hop music soon grew from a hobby and pastime into a lifelong pursuit. Since then, Bijaan has gone on to play numerous live shows, record and write countless songs, and even finished in fourth place on Shaw TV’s Urban Star talent show in 2011. In 2015, Bijaan went viral on social media after publishing a spoken word piece entitled They Are Not Me, condemning ISIS attacks in Europe and the resulting Islamophobia in the West, garnering over four million views online.
Inspired by the lyricism and authenticity of the early pioneers of hip-hop (Jay-Z, Mos Def, and Shad) and the poise and polish of the modern era (J. Cole, Mac Miller, and Saba), Bijaan’s music transcends generations of hip-hop fans by creating a unique blend of old school authenticity with new school swagger.
