Three unique female artists forge their identity in the world of R&B. As writers and performers they explore important themes such as gender identity, mental health, and sexuality as they reclaim a genre that has historically favoured a male perspective.

Join us LIVE at the Paradise Theatre in Toronto or tune in from the comfort of your home!

Rita Ray (Estonia) - Estonia’s femme fatale. That classic soul sound backed by a 5-piece of power players.

Kaili Kinnon (Toronto/LA) - Estonian Roots, Toronto born and raised. Smoky alt-pop by a rare and splendid voice.

Estyr (Toronto) - Alt-R&B and Indie Rock. Lush vocals telling lyrical stories of femininity, heartbreak, liminality, and Toronto’s suburbs.
