Montreal-born, Ottawa-bred artist City Fidelia has always taken inspiration from his ever-changing surroundings (including some time in Brooklyn); and it shows. Now based in Toronto, his music has taken on a whole new life. With influences of soul, jazz and R&B from his musician father, and an introduction to battle rap from his older brother, City’s music developed throughout his school years into a genre-bending ode to his family and the cities he calls home. “It’s important for people to know I represent my hometown, it’s an important part of who I am.”
With his latest release, A Pisces World, City’s fluid raps and vocals float over hypnotic, bass-heavy production. “This project defines me as an artist,” he says of the 9-song album.
Along with the release of the album comes the music video for the first single entitled 4 A.M. A hint of mystery combined with a fun tale of last night’s debauchery, City narrates that party last night with a catchy hook and assistance from NDMA.
