GAB Youth Music Drop-in

Description

Are you a musician (trained, self-taught, or aspiring) between 14-25? Do you write songs but aren’t sure how to record or share them? Just want to learn some new skills with a rad mentor? Facilitated by Jeff Cancade (Devours), queer songwriter, producer and performer, this 5 week program is a space to share your creativity and gain experience using professional recording equipment in a supportive space. Drinks and snacks will be provided. Jeff Cancade (he/they) is a self-taught singer/songwriter and electronic producer based in Vancouver. A lifelong home recording artist, he has composed music for commercials, podcasts, and documentaries, and worked as a principal music editor on American television series including Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and My Little Pony. For the past decade, Cancade has released music as Devours, earning a Polaris Prize nomination, touring Canada and the US, and receiving features in CBC, Vice, and The Globe and Mail. He has also lectured at UBC and SFU and volunteers with QMUNITY, returning to Q’s music program to support queer youth in finding their voices.
