SHEBAD

MUSIC IS THE ANSWER, LOVE IS THE MESSAGE. "SHEBAD is the creative spirit of visual artist and vocalist Claire Voy and multi-instrumentalist Ciccio (Cheecho) Spagnolo. Hailing from Guelph, Ontario, Canada, their music plays in the realm of Acid Jazz, characterized by fusion arrangements, danceable basslines, and soulful layered vocals. Their sound is a synthesis of influences like Stevie Wonder, Hiatus Kaiyote, Amy Winehouse, Daft Punk, and Erykah Badu, making the music compelling and curious with lyrics from the heart. CBC’s Laila Biali aptly describes their sound as “Music that exists in a sonic world of its own”. Their debut album ‘Music is the Answer’, explores music’s power as a life-affirming guide, featuring 10 new tracks that reflect their dedication to their art. Its lead single 'Black Walnut' made it in numerous best songs of the week including The Needle Drop's and Somewhere Soul's, as well as charted #5 on Tokyo's J-wave FM HOT 100 for two weeks straight. Performing live as a 5-piece arrangement with Bella Tian (keys/vox), Emil White (keys/sax), and Emmitt Leacock (drums), the band has been direct support for Kamasi Washington, Thievery Corporation, and Anomalie.
