About
The artist
Calamine is a celebrated Montreal feminist rapper, songwriter, and producer. Blending vintage boom-bap rhythms, infectious jazz horns, and razor-sharp socio-political wordplay, Calamine delivers candid critiques of consumerism, gentrification, and patriarchy with playful charisma. Her acclaimed debut Boulette Proof (2020) and follow-up Lesbians Jouant au Hockey (2022) garnered widespread recognition, earning her the Prix Félix-Leclerc, the Révélation Radio-Canada title, and multiple Gala GAMIQ nominations as a trailblazer of queer Francophone rap.

“Une plume affutee et une energie debordante qui renouvellent avec brio le paysage du rap quebecois.”
