Katie Stelmanis

Toronto, ON

Armed with a keyboard and backed by a wall of pre-assembled midi madness, Katie Stelmanis' music is endlessly evocative, with strong and scattered beats riding alongside dense synth melodies and vibrato-laden vocal swoops. On top of being a talented beat-maker, Stelmanis possesses one mean set of vocal chords, with a tone that falls somewhere between opera-house class and punk rock crass. Taking cues from Reznor, Amos and Mercury, the end result sounds as if the Anticon crew and Patrick Wolf teamed up to convince Kate Bush to sing over drill and bass beats at the top of her lungs. Her debut album will be released with Toronto's Blocks Recording Club in December of 2007.
