KERUB is the meeting of worlds: ambience and driving drums; harsh vocals and medieval hymns; traditional folk melodies and hyper modern club music. A singer, a producer, a composer, a weirdo – KERUB is influenced by an interaction between internet culture, their classical training, and lively pop sounds. Described as apocalyptic but playful, KERUB delivers anything from gentle soundscapes, to hard hitting beats that last well into the night.
KERUB started their musical journey with the 2018 EP, ‘GUARD’, followed by a rapid-fire release schedule of follow-ups until 2023, when they independently released their debut album, ‘MIN’. A techno-organic take on Jewish mysticism by way of instrumental transgender allegories. Their sophomore album is to be released in 2025.
KERUB has appeared on the bill of multiple festivals across Canada including: Vancouver’s Queer Arts Festival (2018/2019), Winnipeg’s Cluster Festival (2020 – digital edition), St John’s Lawnya Vawnya (2022), and Halifax’s Everyseeker (2023). In addition they have appeared on Sled Island’s 2020 playlists for artists previously set to play at the festival prior to its postponement due to COVID-19. KERUB has taken part in multiple industry showcases and events, such as VIFF’s Amplify program, the VQFF’s Young Artist program, and the Vancouver Folk Festival’s Young Artist program.
KERUB’s music has attained extensive radio play, being played on stations such as Bellingham’s KUGS 89.3FM, SMK CFRU 93.3, Vancouver’s Co-op radio CFRO 100.5; as well as multiple internet and FM radio stations throughout the country and Europe. In addition KERUB was featured on Vancouver-based record label OBSKUR Record’s monthly mix series for December 2021.
In 2021 KERUB composed instrumentals and appeared on 7 tracks for Vancouver-based pop artist Sad China’s debut album, ‘ilyimy’ (Independent release – affiliated with Fritz Media productions). In addition they have appeared on remix albums for artists such as Edmonton’s Pseudo-Antigone (54 Letters [KERUB Remix] – Into the Void of Infinite Remix, 2021), New York’s fdsdf (One of Those Days… [KERUB Remix] – One of Those Days…, 2022) and Sad China (NBL [KERUB Remix – ilyimy remixes, 2022).
