• Victory and 3409 at The Melody Bar / Victory 和 3409在The Melody Bar的演出：

📸: Aleka Allen
The roster of talent at The Melody Bar on Friday, June 17, 2022, was stellar! The show opened with a 20-minute set from Victory. This Calgary-born, Toronto-based RnB artist sang her heart out to songs centred on themes of change, self-love, and being honest with one’s romantic feelings. She also has undeniable charisma, wicked style, and star power. During her set, she asked the audience who was rocking with her, and the entire room erupted with applause and cheers. Near the end of her performance, she performed a cover of Ariana Grande’s “Only One .” She explained to the crowd that she chose this song because it offered her a challenge. No shade to Ariana but Victory could hold her own with how effortlessly she hit those whistle notes and runs. Her performance was a great start to the night.
中文版 / Chinese version:ＮＸＮＥ2022年6月17日星期五在The Melody Bar酒吧演出的名單名單非常出色！節目以 Victory20分鐘的集曲開場。這位出生於卡爾加里、現居多倫多的 RnB 音樂家以「蛻變、自愛和誠實面對自己的感情」為主題的歌曲傾情演唱。她擁有無法抗拒的魅力、令人驚艷的風格和巨星的氣勢。在演出中她問候與她一起搖擺的觀眾，讓整個空間爆發出掌聲和歡呼聲。演出接近尾聲時，她翻唱了愛莉安娜格蘭德（ Ariana Grande） 的「Only One」。她向人群解釋說，選擇這首歌是因為這首歌給她帶了的挑戰。Victory以自己的風格演唱時完全沒有Ariana的陰影，而是毫不費力地唱出那些高音和轉折點。音樂節用她的表演開場也為當當晚展開了好兆頭。
Following Victory’s set was the Toronto-based alternative hip-hop band 3409. The band consists of Dante (vocalist), Ro (vocalist), Danny Del (producer), and Izzy (producer). Their sound melds elements of dance, pop, hip-hop, world music, and RnB into high-energy and melodic sounds. Throughout the night, they excited the audience and had them dancing and singing along to their songs. While performing their 2021 hit, “Prom Night,” they threw merchandise into the crowd. It was a fun set enjoyed by all.

在Victory之後演出的是多倫多的另類嘻哈樂隊 3409。樂隊由 Dante（主唱）、Ro（主唱）、Danny Del（製作人）和 Izzy（製作人）組成。他們的聲音將舞蹈、流行、嘻哈、世界音樂和RnB元素融合成高能量的旋律。他們的演出讓所有觀眾嗨了一整個晚上，跟著他們唱歌、跳舞。在表演 2021年的熱門歌曲「Prom Night」時，他們將周邊商品丟向人群，讓整場氣氛更嗨、更愉悅。

• Majo at Rivoli / Majo在Rivoli 的演出:

Toronto-based RnB singer/songwriter Majo was the first vocalist to perform at Rivoli on Saturday, June 18, 2022. Upon arrival, there was a lot of talk about Majo and her impressive background. She has worked with many industry legends such as Jordan Evans, Jordan Manswell, Jandre Amos and Jack Rochon. What’s impresse us even more is the fact that she was handpicked by legendary Canadian rapper and record executive Kardinal Offishall to perform at last summer’s Free the City festival and is now a mentee under his wing.
中文版 / Chinese version:
出生於於多倫多的RnB歌手/詞曲創作者Majo是 2022年6月18日星期六在 Rivoli酒吧演出的第一位歌手。咱在抵達場地後就聽到觀眾紛紛討論著很多關於Majo令人印象深刻、驚艷的背景。她曾與許多音樂界的傳奇人物合作過，例如 Jordan Evans、Jordan Manswell、Jandre Amos 和 Jack Rochon。更讓我們震驚的是，她曾被加拿大的傳奇饒舌歌手和唱片執行官Kardinal Offishall親自精心挑選，在去年夏天的 Free the City音樂節上演出，而她現在是仍在Kardinal Offishall的旗下學習。
Majo has a very soulful voice, full of vulnerability and depth. There was an Amy Winehouse quality to her stage presence just in the way she poured her heart and tears into all of her songs. During her set, she revealed that this was her first time performing live in almost two years and fidgeted with her sleeves and hair. There were even moments where she fell into the trap of nervous rambling between songs and trying to find the key for her next piece. Unfortunately, her nerves got the best of her and took some people out of the moment. She ended her set with her song, “Honey,” which was an absolute jam. With a final shout-out to her band [Lucas (keyboards), Taylor (drums), Jamal (bass), and Chris (guitar)], she thanked the crowd for joining her and ended the set. With more time and experience getting comfortable on stage, Majo could certainly go places and make it big in the music industry.
中文版 / Chinese version:
Majo的聲音非常深情，充滿脆弱性卻也具深度。在舞台上在她為所有歌曲傾注心血和淚水時帶有一種艾米·懷恩豪斯 (Amy Winehouse) 的的影子。她透露這是近兩年來第一次現場表演，並開始焦慮的整理自己的袖子和頭髮。甚至有一些時候在歌曲之間竟因緊張開始胡言亂語並試圖為她的下一首曲子找ＫＥＹ音。可惜的是，她的緊張情緒終究擊敗了她，導致一些觀眾感到解嗨。不過當她以她的歌曲「Honey」」一曲結束演出時，她的演出非常傑出，板回一城。最後向她的樂隊 [Lucas（鍵盤）、Taylor（鼓手）、Jamal（貝斯）和 Chris（吉他手）] 大聲致敬，並感謝所有加入演出的觀眾。相信隨著更多的時間和經驗，等她能在舞台上感到舒適自在後，Majo未來的前途無可限量，一定能走遍四方，在音樂界取得成功。
