Hezron’s music can be described as enchanting, mesmerizing, soothing, yet militant and hard

hitting. His ability to simultaneously charm, captivate and motivate his fans has most definitely

cemented the fact that he is a rare and exceptional talent. Hezron Clarke was born and raised in

the District of Moy Hall, St. James before migrating to the U.S.A. Hezron developed his talent,

being an ardent member of his church choir and his musical gift was evident to his family and

friends who facilitated its development however possible.

Hezron continued to expand on the dexterity of his vocals by naturally transitioning into singing

RnB, but was not entirely satisfied within that genre, as his calling was deeply embedded in the

rich Reggae music of his homeland. As such, he was compelled to return to Jamaica to fulfill his

true calling of being an outstanding Reggae artiste. Shortly after his return to Jamaica, Hezron

began unleashing a series of hit singles that instantly garnered serious attention within the local

music industry.

"Caraluna’s music is what might happen if a circus fell in love with a cathedral. A band born on Salt Spring Island but carried by the winds of the old world. Their music blends Balkan brass, folk poetry, and drifting accordion into a sound that feels both rooted and weightless—like memory set to melody."
-BBC

Caraluna (“beloved moon” in Gaelic/Latin, “moon face” in Spanish) is the multilingual indie-world-folk project of singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jesse Edward Thom.

Inspired by timeless voices like Jacques Brel and minimalist composers such as Yann Tiersen, Thom weaves simple, emotionally rich melodies with poetic reflections drawn from his travels across Latin America, Western Canada, Spain, and the UK. His music reflects a deep connection to nature, meditation, and the art of Sacred Clowning, creating songs that feel intimate, grounded, and profoundly human.

Tor is a JUNO Award winning music producer and DJ who has been releasing original music since 2011.

"Oasis Sky" is Tor’s first original body of work since his 2016 album, "Blue Book". It expands on the latter’s meditative

energy with the producer’s signature warmth and beat-driven atmospherics, while digging deeper into the

experiences and emotions that have informed the past 4 years of his life. From a busy touring schedule that saw the

Vancouver-based producer playing his music across the U.S., the E.U., Australia, and Costa Rica, as well as being

sought out to produce remixes for Max Cooper, Fejká, Frameworks, and RÜFÜS DU SOL, the album only began to

come into focus after slowing down, establishing roots, finding centre and introspection in a new living space.

Since Oasis Sky's release it has gone on to accumulate over 26 million streams across platforms, been played on

BBC Radio 1, Sirius XM Chill, and NPR, featured on CSI: Vegas, and won Electronic Album of the Year at the 2022
