Aileé Zaga is an independent artist and music producer based in British Columbia, Canada. She creates a balance between memorable pop melodies and experimental sounds, influenced by genres ranging from classical music and various sub-genres of rock and metal to electronic music. Her lyrics frequently explore her experiences through her lens as a woman and an immigrant.

Zaga has been featured on several Canadian outlets such as The Permanent Rain Press, Global Okanagan, Canadian Beats, and KelownaNow, to name a few. Additionally, she has been highlighted in underground music publications like ReGen Magazine, and Women of Noise.

Zaga emphasizes using her platform to increase the visibility of women in the music industry. In 2021, she participated in the project “Ninety,” where proceeds went towards organizations that educate gender minorities in the audio industry.

Kelowna composer Rinnovare is a trailblazer in electronic ambient music. His live performances blend ethereal melodies, intricate beats, and atmospheric textures, creating immersive soundscapes that transport listeners. Each show offers a unique and unforgettable journey, merging organic and otherworldly sounds for a captivating experience.

Konstant is a sonic avalanche who writes music from the basement of her soul. This lyrical spitfire is a force to be reckoned with as she seamlessly fuses quick- witted hip hop with emotionally generous RNB, jazz and neo-soul. Her music is simultaneously fierce yet warm; a wonderful and rare dichotomy that derives from deeply personal stories that she manages to execute in goosebump-inducing ways. Her performances are equally as mind-blowing as they are heart- wrenching…she knows how to command a stage.
