In a world going through its disillusionment phase, our work as artists to soothe, ignite, empower, and guide the soul, is more important now than ever. We are excited to unite artists of different genres, and untie the threads of our hearts through song, dance, and visual art.

In finding each other, Aurorah & Enlight have fused their classical roots and electronic realizations in a synergy that is exponentially phenomenal. We’re overjoyed to light the beacons of celebration, community, authentic expression, and love.

Welcome to the inaugural performance of Soul Work.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

AURORAH Classical Pianist, Vocalist, Percussionist, Composer, Producer & Interdisciplinary Collaborator

Aurorah weaves seamless sonic tapestries with threads of lush classical keys, powerful vocals, live synth & percussion layers, and electronic production. Each piece is a unique sonic work of art, combining her classical roots with genres of house, drum & bass, trip-hop, melodic house, atmospheric vibes, tribal house, dub step, bass house, middle eastern and down-tempo grooves.

Spearheading her third interdisciplinary event, she is overjoyed to be officially beginning the Soul Work project with such talented and diverse artists, and is excited to watch it grow.

Toronto-born of Greek decent, this award-winning composer and vocalist is a highly sought-after performer and creator, having performed on every kind of stage both solo, collaboratively, and compositionally throughout her lifetime. With original music, reimagined covers, and interdisciplinary collaborations she delves into the depths of human vulnerability, cradling and inspiring strength, to provide deep and tangibly moving performances and recordings.

A truly renaissance woman, Aurorah has extensive experience in the arts of dance, theatre, performance art, atmospheric design, and visual art, which cross over into her compositions and performances adding a sense of story and drama to the music.

ENLIGHT is known as a vocalist and freestyler rapper, who has been performing since 1997, and in that time, has earned the respect of many in the Toronto underground, effectively communicating the message: Love.

Classically trained flautist, and self taught multi-instrumentalist with a wide range of genres at his fingertips, Enlight has honed his improvisational skills in various genres of music, and is perhaps best known in the style that saved his soul: jungle.

Enlight first burst onto the scene as the MC for the seminal hip-hop/jazz group Gruvasylum and Cuban jazz outfit Cruzao, led by Brownman Ali who is known internationally as an award-winning jazz composer and as the trumpet player for Guru’s Jazzmatazz. Over the years he has served as MC for Medicine Muffin, Sixteenarmedjack, Jawbone, Spazzmonk, Frankie Gunns, Marcus Visionary, Rumbleton, Klute, Rollin’ Cash, Purrpelle, Capro, Sidenote, COI, Hans Ohm, Sassa’le, Jungle PhD, ill.gates & gaDJet to name more than a few.

Toronto born of Trinidadian descent, Enlight has been involved with the likes of Architextures, Dubslingers, Illegal Sound, Promise Cherry Beach, and most recently has been welcomed into the Drumcraft crew, as well as hosting DnB rooms for the Wiggle Family. In recent years, Enlight has been branching out to other artistic disciplines, most notably dancing and DJing, in no small part because of his long time friend and protege, NostraBrammus.

He can be found out and about with blue in his beard, a smile on his face, and a kick in his step, smashing up dance floors all over the city.
