Story

GeminiCrab is the name of the Montréal-based HighSoul music duo consisting of Felix award winner keyboardist/producer Caulder Nash (Jonathan Roy) and three-time Grammy nominee vocalist/producer Malika Tirolien (Bokanté). GeminiCrab combines a plethora of music styles including R&B, Soul, and Jazz-Hip Hop highlighted by honest lyrics from a Gen Y lens (the title of their album).

They playfully reflect on several eras of music through seven catchy songs about love, adulting, and the multi-faceted realities of millennials.

“We showcased at The Great Escape Brighton and performed at the JazzCafé London in May; shortly thereafter we were selected as official artists at the Montréal International Jazz Festival -and were seen by key decision-makers, festivals, etc. We toured twice to Europe, including the Copenhagen and Sarajevo Jazz festivals, and coming up at The New Morning in Paris. Finally, we are planning a big jazz festival tour in Canada this June/July and USA in September 2026 including Monterey Jazz Fest.”
