WHAT IT IS: Spearheading the funk revival, Toronto native Kalisway creates musical paintings through elaborate colors, raw sounds and natural emotions, as she fuses alternative elements with her R&B-infused, groove-leaning sound. Following the release of her debut album, Hit ‘Em With the Funk, which put Kalisway’s talents as an MC and producer on full display, the artist/songwriter/producer is back with her six-track EP, CAN’T TELL ME NOTHING, as she captures new listeners one song at a time.
