Paige Drobot considers herself a stream of consciousness artist. She believes that pure art is a gift from an entity larger than her and happens once she can achieve zero thought. Zero thought is achieved by allowing the soul to be totally uninhibited, so that the spirit can translate her emotions to art.

Jacob Brodovsky is a singer-songwriter patently from Winnipeg, Canada. Jacob transforms stories of mundane people and places into emotional, driving tunes with straightforward yet smart lyricism. He falls into the beloved line of uniquely Winnipeg folk-based, talk-singing, moody-Manitobans. His memorable melodies and emotive tunes are toe-tapping enough to be enjoyed at face value, though, it is difficult not to divulge in the quarter life crisis of a 26-year-old with a knack for making you feel the most subdued of feelings.

Trading in a white picket fence for living out of a van, synthpop artist Brady Allard is the multi-instrumentalist behind Winnipeg’s Warming. His music began to take form of an obsession when he left his job, his house and his partner of a decade.
