Tone Depth has been redefining his sound and putting the melody back into his music. Now, fluidity and simplicity reign. With Tone Depth’s focus on music at an all-time high, there is a newfound desire to innovate with the raw, live-recorded elements that are the keystone to a sweeping new sound. 

This progression means less polish and more soul. Less deconstruction and more organic growth. “I want my music to invade your mind and provide a journey where you can travel the globe with your ears open and eyes closed. Music has the unique ability to suspend belief, and my goal is to paint a scene with sound.”

SAYA

Is a Canadian electronic music female singer based in Montreal, working as a duo with composer/producer John Bentley. Together, they create a blend of 90’s dance vocals combined with hard hitting drums, 80’s influenced synth melodies all injected with a touch of disco groove. Everything to bring a soulful and organic vibe to the electronic world. Both are heavily inspired by the 70’s and 80’s era’s. They take what they know from those sounds, styles and lyrics and make it their own.

Saya’s style as an alto vocalist, comes from her classical background and years of private tutoring. Whether as a performer or spectator, she is always amongst the music scene, collaborating with local artists and international acts (choriste for Katia Cadet). Her independent debut in 2010 brought her to perform in places such as: the Mod Club theatre in Toronto for the 16th anniversary of “Honey Jam” hosted by MuchMusic. MusiquePlus in Montreal for an interview and live show for her first video clip. Learning the piano from instructor/performer Eddy Pierre Jasmin, led her to play keys for Debbie Tebbs at “Olympia de Montreal” and “Club Soda”. 

Her counterpart, John Bentley, basically grew up with an MPC 2000 and a record collection. Making crunchy beats similar to 90’s and early 2000’s east coast hip hop. While he studied sound design and studio recording, he evolved his taste in production toward everything between blues and house. Realizing the potential of live recordings integrated with electronic beats, he taught himself to play various instruments like guitar, bass, piano, drums, and tried anything else he could get his hands on. This added a lot more elements than just samples to the music. 

Combining different backgrounds, the alliance brought out the best in both musicians when they teamed up in 2014. The duo soon launched their own record label.The release of S A Y A s first Ep on Restless City Records, occurred in May 17th 2017. It is a great introduction to their artistic vision. A nice throwback to early dance music. Loud chords, heavy bass lines and deep vocals. 

The team got selected for the international art showcase: Raw Artists
and performed in venues like: Rialto Theatre Montreal, Mod Club Toronto.

The duo is currently working on their second album to be released in 2018.
