At 20, gritty and soulful singer-songwriter Sean Hassard moved to Montreal where the true formation of his artistry blossomed as he found the voice that defines his unique style in both singing and lyricism. He started releasing music in 2019, and released a string of singles in 2020 that saw him break the 200 thousand stream benchmark.
Sean’s new single, “Lemonade,” is about unrequited love. The emotional weight of falling for someone, who despite admitting feeling deeply about you, purposefully distances themself out of the fear of heartbreak. The message echoed in the chorus – you’ve got none if you give all that you’ve got – puts an interesting twist on the old adage of giving it your all.
Emily Kate bridges the gap between country and pop with her unique sound and lyrical storytelling. Pulling from real life experiences, her music conveys relatable, thoughtful messages weaved with fresh, soulful melodies and a warm sound.

The EP’s focus track, “The Whole Time,” is an upbeat country pop song about going out with friends and meeting someone who takes your breath away. A twist on the common saying “You had me at hello,” this song is about someone having you “the whole time.”
James’ latest single, “What You Really Want,” is a response to the naysayers he faced when starting out in his career. The message for fellow creatives is to keep a positive outlook and focus on the fans. There is freedom in being true to oneself.
Aided by mentors Nick Blagona (The Police, Deep Purple, Beegees) and Mark Daum (inventor of the piantar), James Alphonse is gearing up to release his debut solo EP produced by Andre Kaden Black (Fefe Dobson, Francesco Yates) and Tal Vaisman (21 Pilots, Imagine Dragons). Ranging from electro pop, pop rock and chill r&b, it’s tough to pin his music down.
