BIO

Borelson is a multi-disciplinary artist and creative director based in Toronto.

After a multi-lingual upbringing in central Africa (Gabon, Congo), he went on to spend some years in France following some disruptive family events, before relocating to Canada by himself.

His unique music is mostly hip-hop and afrofusion infused, mixed with other music influences such as jazz, classical music, gospel. After a mixtape (2014) and an EP (2016), Borelson released his debut album in May 2020 titled 'As Far As Eye Can See' along with a docuseries about the success stories of immigrants and first-gen Canadians, both projects inspired by the quote ‘I didn’t come this far to only come this far’ and the power of visualization.

Borelson’s creations revolve around the concept of afrofuturism and the Ubuntu philosophy, aiming to give more drive, hope and a sense of collective freedom through mutual respect and balance.

As an explorer and bridge builder between communities across the universe, Borelson has performed in Paris, London, Miami, Austin (SXSW 2018), Ghana (Year Of Return), as well as Montreal and Toronto (Afrofest, Nuit Blanche, Toronto Biennale, RBC Music virtual showcases, Fashion Art Toronto,…). His shows whether solo or with a live band, always bring high vibrational energy and are worth attending.
