Bio:
Gayance (real name Aïsha Vertus) takes her alias from the Haitian creole word for joyfulness. She started as a DJ in 2013, collecting vinyl from afro-Latin jazz, vintage Caribbean sounds, West African, and black electronic music from both sides of the Atlantic. But her musical roots can be traced back even further. Her Grandfather, who was playing Haitian-influenced gospels in church, showed her how music can be used to touch and uplift people. A gift she’s taken with her wherever she goes.

Born and raised in Montreal-Nord, Gayance has been tearing down venues in Paris, Amsterdam, Brooklyn, Marrakech, Berlin, São Paulo, and more. Her own production is influenced by UK Garage and broken beat, and the Detroit and New York house scene, with nods to the vivid, sun-soaked colors of Latin America.

Aïsha’s first project came in 2021, an entirely independent release that features Montreal native, KAYTA. ‘Kinda Strange’ is an ode to underground UK Garage with soulful melodies from KAYTA, accompanied by gospel-style backing vocals as Gayance reaches back to her Grandfather’s roots.

This was quickly followed up by the EP, ‘No Toning Down’, where Aïsha explores her global influences. She cites artists like Betty Davis, Andre 3000, Caetano Veloso, and Timbaland as well as her contemporaries, Liv.e, Nick Hakim, Viktor Duplaix, Solange, IG Culture, and Little Dragon. The track ‘Meu Sol’ takes the listener to Brazil, where she teams up with Maleika Tidjani and Dapapa on this Dilla-inspired instrumental, full of summery chords and intricate melodies. By the end of the project, ‘All My Friends Are Triggered’, we hear Gayance in a darker cadence. Burial-esque, glitchy drums skip along below a solemn chord progression and robotic vocal chops.

Following her impressive catalog of self-releases, Gayance will be putting out her first full-length album on Rhythm Section in 2023. ‘Mascarade’ is a collection of dancey rhythms with melodies that appear in the form of hauntingly soulful hooks, or bright outpours of joy and celebration. Her list of collaborators will also feature some of her friends from underground Montreal. This record gives light to Aïsha’s talents, not only as a producer but as a vocalist and lyricist who shows us a great capacity for different emotions, styles, and languages to arise in her songs.

Fruta Gogoia by Gal Costa (GAYANCE edit)

LETRAS

Eu sou uma fruta gogóia
Eu sou uma moça
Eu sou calunga de louça
Eu sou uma jóia

Eu sou a chuva que móia
Que refresca bem
Eu sou o balanço do trem
Carreira de tróia

Eu sou a tirana bóia
Eu sou o mar
Samba que eu ensaiar
Mestre não oia

*lyrics translated 
I am a gogóia fruit
I'm a girl
I'm a dishwasher
I'm a jewel

I'm the rain that grinds
That refreshes well
I'm the train swing
Trojan career

I am the tyrant buoy
I am the sea
Samba that I rehearse
Master doesn't hate
