Nino & Electric Soul

Nino & Electric Soul was formed by

frontman Nino Flamenco in Montreal,

Canada, in 2021, as a way to dive deeper

into his inner self during a time of

change, both musically and personally.

Growing up in a musical household with

a mother who is a soul singer, an older

brother rooted in hip-hop culture, and

a father whose musical taste varies

from jazz to rock, Nino found his outlet

and a way to express himself after

picking up a guitar at the age of 5. He

found his voice around the same time

and coincidentally on his mother's self-

titled debut album Sylvie Desgroseilliers

as a feature on one of the lead singles,

Ta chanson.

Nino & Electric Soul established their

genre within Soul. Reminiscent of the

70s, their musical arrangements and

use of live instruments are inspired by

artists such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin

Gaye, Earth Wind and Fire, Jimi

Hendrix, and Funkadelic. Additionally,

the attitude of 90s and 2010s R&B

artists like D'Angelo and Anderson .Paak

helped the band develop their sound that give them an edge to bridge the old and new school sound.

Kola

KOLA, the Montreal-based producer and multi-instrumentalist, emerged in the music scene with a distinctive fusion of electronic soul, funk, and R&B, crafting tracks marked by lush synths and intricate drum patterns inspired by icons like J Dilla, Daft Punk, and Marvin Gaye. His early production work on Yzabo’s EP “Bad Habit” and his collaboration with Frase, which included a tour across Italy, established him as a rising talent in Montreal’s vibrant music community. Building on this momentum, KOLA released his own EP, "Bounce in Peace", to widespread acclaim, featuring standout tracks like “Love Myself” and “More Than It Seems” with Fawna.
