Born and raised in downtown Toronto, Harper attempts to meld his traditional toolkit (Trumpet, Upright Bass, Vocals, Rhodes, etc.) into a fresh context. His compositions are filled with nuance, distancing himself from the digital perfectionist sound. With early influences coming from Stevie Wonder and Amy Winehouse, he continues to be inspired by the new generation of innovators, such as Mac Miller and Frank Ocean.
WahWah James is a multi instrumentalist musician and producer from Toronto. On his first volume he explores a range of styles pulling from Cuban music, Country, Surf, and Electronic. Each of the 15 tracks is crafted in a way that contorts these different styles into a fresh modern context sure to inspire the imagination. James uses many different instruments in his music including the Pedal Steel, Tres Cubano, Acoustic/Electric Guitars, Yamaha CS30, and the Prophet 6. Each sample contains clear song ideas and structures for producers and artists to live within while still allowing enough space to explore their creativity.
