Toronto - some sweet R&B x

Meagan De Lima is a Toronto singer-songwriter crafting R&B music that comes from a place of heart-centered sweetness and compassion. Together, herself and producer Mark Pelli (Sabrina Claudio, Chris Brown) blend contemporary R&B with acoustic soul that is warm, earthy, and lush.
 
Both her grandparents originated from Goa, India, and Meagan's parents were born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya. Her grandfathers were both jazz musicians who toured in India, Africa, and Canada when they immigrated in the ’60s. This formed her natural affinity for music at a young age. 
 
Meagan fell in love with singing at a young age, belting songs by Toni Braxton at home. Music was a safe harbour for her growing up with mental health challenges, reconciling her parent's health battles, and finding the silver lining in constant change as a resilient songwriter. Her records are at equal turns vulnerable and relatable to anyone dealing with similar personal struggles.
 
Highlights of her career include performing for President Obama, the Invictus Games, and opening for Kehlani with the group TRP.P at Pride Festival. She was awarded Canada’s Top Artist for Social Change (judges: Director X, Tegan and Sara) and made her performance and acting debut in the film, “Learn to Swim” at TIFF.
 
Meagan has been featured on Apples “Best New Songs List,” Amazon's “Breakthrough R&B” and Spotify's New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, Mood Ring, and Just Vibing.

Sasha's Bloc is made up of Alex Gershman, Brandon Fields, Mr. McChesney, Alex Budman, Kye Palmer, Kevin Winard, Andy Langham, Steve Cotter, Tony Galla, Jane Monheit, Nora Rothman, Glynis Leflore, Darah Fortier and Octavia Pace.

“Gershman is not a jack of all trades; rather he is a master. He wears many hats and wears them all well: physician, surgeon, philanthropist, bandleader, songwriter and bassist to name a few.

The 8-piece small group which is Sasha’s Bloc sounded nothing short of amazing as they dazzled the capacity level VIP crowd. Songs like “Feels Like Jazz” and “Breakfast” were guest favorites, along with the sweet and melodic duet “Black and Blue.” Speaking of the songs, they are Gershman originals. And from my perspective, his writing is right up there with some of the classic songsmiths of the first part of the 20th century.” -International Review of Music by James DeFrances

MUSIQUE ORIGINALE

Since their inaugural gig in 2008 supporting psychedelic luminaries Gong at Coorabell Hall, Byron Bay, Vasudha Harte and Jem Edwards have combined forces to create a sound that is diverse and intimately their own….sassy blue world tango gypsy punk jazz rock rap folk mojo….Dinkum Bohos in a saucy sonic tryst!
Musician, songstress and poet Vasudha freestyles with her adventurous velvet voice. Heart melting ballads and beautiful melodies collide with rollicking stories and political raps. "One can hear Australia’s own Ani Di Franco".
Guitar whisperer Jem plays stunt steel string, lush slide and effortlessly cascades on Spanish guitar, flamenco guitar and conveys a mind blowing musical mastery playing his own brand of sensitive and idiosyncratic drums. The pair continually swap instruments, swing moods and throw in dazzling four handers on piano.

“With an hilarious piano duet, Vasudha and Jem had four hands on the keys at the same time. The pair synchronized, tantalized and made athletic changes of position-all without missing a beat.”
