Who are they?

Montreal self-described “synthetic soul” artist Chiiild combines elements of R&B, indie rock, and electronica to create his signature genre-bending sound. The budding artist has cited Tame Impala, Fleetwood Mac, Marvin Gaye, and The Notorious B.I.G. as some of his musical influences. His smooth vocals and textural sound are hypnotizing, but forging a name for himself in the industry has been no easy process. From travelling between L.A. and Montreal, Chiiild has recounted his time living in his car and attending countless studio sessions with positivity. His humbling demeanour and perseverance are key values that make us believe that he is on his path to overwhelming success.
