WHO ARE THE ARTISTS?
Thelonious @thesou1ion
Thelonious Lee Dexter is a multidimensional artist, musician , performer and co-creator born and raised on the unceded ancestral territories of the Musqueum, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish people, colonially known as Vancouver. Coming from a mixed diasporic family heritage (Korean + Celtic / British) as well as an embodied connection to the lands we are presently on, Thelo often plays between the cracks of ancestral identity and belonging amidst the fringe of post-modernity and ongoing cosmic revolution. Thelonious is a lover of the weird and wild, the mythic and whimsical, and their work aims to explore the natural and spiritual realms that intervene in and between the experiences of being human. Thelo is one part of psychedelic hiphop crew ‘Off Topic’ (@offtopicmusic) as “TK thesoulion”and ‘earthen bodies’ creative collective with their partner Alyssa Amarshi . They love to sing, play guitar , drums , bass and enjoy making beats and loops as a way to connect to the world through sonic expression

Ella @mixedbyellag
Ella Gonzales (she/her) is an audio engineer, R&B artist, and writer. Born in Cebu, Philippines, she immigrated to Canada at 9 years old with her family as economic refugees. After settling in so-called Vancouver and graduating from audio school in 2021, she is now working in the industry and has her hand in almost all aspects of music, from performance and writing to engineering. She has been a musician from a young age, and owes her musical DNA to the neo-soul and golden-age hip hop movements. Her work, both onstage and off, is cultivated by a deep reverence for the communities that originated contemporary R&B and soul music. She operates out of Helm Studios as a writer, engineer, and vocal producer, with Helm's primary focus being providing services for queer, BIPOC, and high barrier artists. She is an anti-capitalist and passionate about community initiatives dedicated to amplifying the voices of underrepresented BIPOC artists and musicians in Vancouver.
