About ZADA
Born in Ethiopia and based in Whistler, BC, ZADA is a genre-defying artist whose music lives in the space between contrasts beauty and grit, intimacy and scale, soul and experimentation. Blending alternative R&B with electronic textures, jazz, folk, and global rhythms, her sound is cinematic yet grounded, guided by a voice that is both warm and commanding.
Since launching her debut single "Nomad" in 2022 and releasing her debut album Water In The Desert in 2024, ZADA has brought her unique sound to major stages including SXSW, Mondo NYC, Honey Jam, Black Girls Rock x BET at the Kennedy Center, and JUNOFest 2025. She has also earned early acclaim from Billboard, CBC's The Block, BBC Radio 1, WKDU, Amazing Radio (UK), and Spotify playlists like EQUAL Afro and Sizzlers.
As a new chapter unfolds, ZADA continues to push sonic boundaries with her latest singles "Access Denied" and "Breath Away," which channels nostalgia and catharsis through indie pop textures and digital beats, expanding her signature fusion of raw lyricism and experimental production. Rooted in community and driven by purpose, ZADA's artistry is intentional, expansive, and deeply human. With her feet on the ground and a vision that spans continents, she continues to carve out space for stories that resonate across generations, cultures, and soundwaves.

About King Cruff
Canadian-Jamaican artist King Cruff (Solomon Marley-Spence) was born with the talents of songwriting and performance in his blood. An introspective storyteller, he sees his songs as think pieces set to ‘punky ’ rhythms. Drawing on his audio engineering background, the versatile King Cruff fuses genres across the diaspora including hip- hop, Afrobeats, dancehall and reggae. While reggae royalty is in his blood, King Cruff’s rapid flow and patois-laced lyrical style reveals the influence hip-hop lyricists such as Andre 3000 and Kendrick Lamar have had on him choosing to carve his own path as an MC. The 26-year-old artist is a natural-born performer who has spent the past year on stages in Canada, the US, and Jamaica for cultural events like Toronto’s Caribana, Afro Carib Fest, School Night, Bastid’s BBQ Toronto, Bastid's BBQ Jamaica, the Tuff Gong Takeover in New York alongside Skip Marley, and at both the LA and Toronto opening nights of the Bob Marley One Love Experience.
