POMO
Pomo is a Canadian multi-instrumentalist and producer living in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Growing up in Port Moody, BC, he matured through the Vancouver music scene, introducing himself to various elements of music. After moving eastward to Montreal in 2012 for a couple of years, Pomo has hit his stride in the electronic dance music market, joining the likes of Kaytranada, Ta-Ku, and Stwo on the HW&W roster. Drawing from various influences, Pomo makes an effort to distance himself from genre-defining elements while approaching his music from an organic and raw songwriting perspective. Using elements from hip hop, electronic, and 70s/80s funk, the multifaceted producer likes to draw people in with the malleable dynamics of his music, something that attracts himself to artists like J Dilla, Prince, Disclosure, and the emerging electronic scene as a whole.
TENNYSON
Influenced by the likes of Boards of Canada and Radiohead, Tennyson started fusing jazz with darker tones before finally releasing their 2012 self-titled debut and the Blamer EP shortly after. Both went relatively unnoticed.. Undeterred, the duo honed in on their own sound while releasing a steady stream of new tracks on Soundcloud, eventually catching the attention of producer Ryan Hemsworth with the rolling carousel and mellow midi keys on their remix of Angus and Julia Stone’s “For You.” Taken aback by the strength of their musical compositions, Hemsworth put Tennyson’s track “You’re Cute” as the first in his monthly Secret Songs series.
MASEGO
Masego is a Jamaican Rooted, DMV based Jazz Vocalist, Saxophonist and Producer. His “Trap Scatting,” “Arbitrary Sax” and “TrapHouseJazz” Band, has won him praise and support from names like Diddy, Solange, Michelle Phan and music authorities such as XXL, BBC radio, HOT97, HypeTrak, DJ Booth, Okay Player and even Universal Music Group. He captivates every audience with his songs made on the fly via his Looper pedal as well as his witty interludes delivered with the character “Uncle Sego. He has his own Line Dance (Sego Step), his own Band and his own catch phrase. HIDY HIDY HIDY HO!. His Pink Polo Ep has not even hit “the inters of net” as of yet but has everyone buzzing and excited. It will be his break out project and is expected to “change the game.”
