ARTIST & PRODUCER:

There are things in life you love to do... Then there are things in life you KNOW you are supposed to do. 

   In elementary school I had an obligation to show up and get through it. But, I had an early swing of rebellion and decided that I would rather listen to Hiphop, no one else around me really even knew what that was at the time. From The Fugis, to 2 pac. To Nas, to Dogg Pound, I was deep in bliss and there was no one that was going to pull me out of it. EVER. 
   
   I have been writing poetry since about then, and though I never believed I could legitimately be an MC until much later in my life, I finally came to the realization that happiness and fulfillment were very much tied into exactly that... this is the life that I need to be living, these are the experiences I need to be having, and this is how I am going to contribute to the world that I live in... in the most positive way possible.

   We all need a purpose, and we all deserve to feel serenity at its upmost potential. 

   We all have a hidden talent and or strength, and we all need to discover ourselves in order to bring that out of us.

   This is mine.

   My name is Garrett Mitchell Thomas and my MC name is “GMT”....

   Welcome to my world.

“Understanding the order of time is important to anyone hoping to manifest a dream,” says Valerie June. “There is a time to push, and a time to gently tend the garden.”

Since the release of her 2013 breakout Pushin’ Against A Stone, June has been patiently at work in the garden of song, nurturing seedlings with love and care into the lush bloom that is her stunning new album, The Order Of Time. Some songs grew from seeds planted more than a decade ago, others blossomed overnight when she least expected them to, but every track bears the influence of time. See, time has been on June’s mind a lot lately. It’s the only constant in life, even though it’s constantly changing. It’s the healer of all wounds, the killer of all men. It’s at once infinite and finite, ever flowing with twists and turns and brutal, churning rapids that give way to serene stretches of placid tranquility. Fight against the current and it will knock you flat on your ass. Learn to read it, to speak its language, and it will carry you exactly where you’re meant to be.

Canadian artist Ché Aimee Dorval offers a sonic escape—an immersive cinematic journey where late-night trip-hop, airy dream pop, and laid-back electronica drift together with a touch of alt-indie edge. With sleek production reminiscent of Goldfrapp, Bonobo's organic pulse, and Lana Del Rey's moody allure, Ché crafts a soundtrack for those chasing city lights and after-hours reveries. Step into her world, where every beat paints a scene and every melody tells a story.

In 2023, Ché was featured on a haunting duet with Gord Downie ( The Tragically Hip) and made guest appearances on Devin Townsend's Lightwork, setting the stage for her third solo album, The Crowned, co-produced by Bob Rock (Metallica). Clash Magazine praised the record for “fusing pop, soul, and indie elements to produce something potent and original,” while Knotfest called the standout track “Falling Under” a “timeless earworm.”

Fresh off a busy year of touring in 2024 to support The Crowned, Ché channeled her passion for alt-pop and synthwave into a new body of work that promises to push her signature sound even further. This spring, she’ll release new material that marks the next step in her ongoing evolution as an artist.
