“Driven by the deep precision and impeccable groove of her drumming and by her vision as a bandleader, it’s a new sound that works incredibly well, bringing something different to the well worn treads of jazz and funk.” - KNKX
GeminiCrab is the name of the Montreal-based HighSoul music duo consisting of Felix award winner keyboardist/producer Caulder Nash (Jonathan Roy) and 3 time Grammy nominee vocalist/producer Malika Tirolien (Bokanté).
GeminiCrab combines a plethora of music styles including R&B, Soul and jazz-Hip Hop highlighted by honest lyrics from a Gen Y Lens (the title of their album).
They playfully reflect on several eras of music through 7 catchy songs about love, adulting and the multi-faceted realities of millenials.
The duo met years ago through Montreal's Kalmunity Vibe Collective. They've also played together in Malika Tirolien's solo project and decided to start a band together after a Phi Center residency that had them create songs with the binaural audio technology. Caulder came up with GeminiCrab (the name) as the acknowledgement of each member's astrological sign.
