It was a busy year in The Oven Studio at CJLO, as our recording studio filled with the sounds of our On Rotation Multi-Genre Artist Residency Program. This unique project gives the chance for artists from various communities and musical styles to develop their body of work and to expand their audience. Due to the generosity of the Community Radio Fund of Canada, our team was able to record, mentor, and promote emerging artists of various genres, even taking them to the top of Earshot! National Charts. Each artist had (or has upcoming) respective EP release parties, but our FUNdrive opens with a rare chance to toast our 2016 selectees them all under one roof! We have been so fortunate to work with such great Montreal artists that we decided to showcase them in an epic, genre defying evening. This is your chance to… Come vibe with Joyce N’sana, our first world music resident and master of the Afrobluehop (with a reggae twist), who recently topped Earshot’s International charts. Get down with our Hip-Hop all girl group Strange Froots, and channel their Black Girl Magic flow (which is steadily climbing Earshot’s hip hop charts as we speak!). Float in company of smooth, experimental, downtempo sound composed by our current RPM resident Wiklow and catch our newly announced Rock artists-in-residence Po Lazarus, who are "devout music boys, just trying to keep things civil while the guitar sweats..."! Join us, be part of the All-Stars dream team, and discover great new local talents!
