NOMAD

Onelight is an indie electronica duo from Vancouver, Canada featuring singer Amy Usher and drummer/producer Hamish Thomson.

Onelight was born when shared spirit and a shared love for music came together on a rainy Vancouver night in 2011. Call it intuition. Call it intention. At their first meeting they shared with each other what it is to live a musical life. There was a connection. A seed was planted. This was the beginning of a new direction in their creative journey.

With a shared love of folk, indie rock and ambient electronica, Onelight’s music explores the urban landscape while sharing a universal message of love and light. Their self-titled debut album is emotionally rich with vocal harmonies and tripped out ambient textures. The blend of Hamish’s layered percussive beats and Amy’s smooth vocals, has created a unique sound that is reminiscent of Morecheeba, Massive Attack and Beth Orton.

Originally from Toronto, Ontario Amy has lived a life traveling the world, chronicling her journey through poetry and song. Her voice and lyrics are grounded in imagery, emotion and spirit.

Hamish is a west coast daydreamer, multi-instrumentalist and producer who created three albums under the moniker The Hermit (Nettwerk Records). Over the course of a decade Hamish has collaborated with a diverse pool of musicians and producers including Martina Sorbara (Dragonette), Frazey Ford (the Be Good Tanyas), CR Avery and Allison Shevernoha. In this time he collected awards for “Favourite Electronica Artist” at Canadian Music Week and a #1 chart placing on Bravo TV’s Video Countdown.

Idealistic, inspired and fueled by their mutual dreams, they have made a pact to create and share conscious music just for the love of it.
