Busty and the Bass are an electro-soul nine-piece, who convened at Montreal’s McGill University in 2014, winning the Rock Your Campus competition and quickly outgrowing the city’s house party scene.
Their sound is informed by modern R&B with infectious pop melodies and flavours of hip hop and reggae moulding their incisive grooves.

“Some of our recent favourites to chill out to, that we play in the van, etc. – we love modern sounds and cutting edge producers in the r&b, hip-hop world (Kaytranada, Charlotte, Brasstracks). A great song is timeless and inspiring, and so is a band or instrumentalist with a personal sound (Beatles, Fleetwood, Miles).”
