About biosphere
biosphere (Henry Ho) is a Taiwanese Canadian composer and producer in Toronto. He initially experimented with the lo-fi/hip hop sound but has recently ventured into R&B, soul and orchestral styles. Classically trained in piano and a saxophone player from a young age, he gradually became inspired to compose his own music. His music is strongly influenced by his classical roots and his many years playing in a jazz environment.
biosphere has released two full-length instrumental albums, Rekindle the Past (2018) and Snapshot (2019), along with multiple beat tapes since 2017. He also released an orchestral EP called Tales of the Flowers in 2020. biosphere has also been commissioned by The Bentway Conservancy and the Waterfront BIA and has a soundtrack featured on a short film published through Reel Asian International Film Festival.

About Koven Wei
For Koven, music has been the most consistent and intimate way to unpack his innermost thoughts, describe his authentic self and share it with the world. Koven is an open book through his music, sharing a down-to-earth account of lived experiences and exploring the creative mind’s sensitive emotions and struggles. To him, there is no time for inauthenticity. He wants to be raw and honest and to share directly from the heart.
Koven specializes in Korean hip-hop and lo-fi. However, he continues to branch out into other genres, including rock, punk and hyper-pop, all while keeping his hip-hop roots. Koven’s sound is radical and often creates a “tug and pull” effect between his vocals and the beat. He sings and raps over beats that typically carry themselves but are leveled up by his creativity. He pushes the boundaries of what we know as hip-hop and fuses Asian influences with a grungy, westernized approach.
