SHEBAD
SHEBAD is the creative spirit of visual artist and vocalist Claire Voy and multi-instrumentalist Ciccio Spagnolo, bolstered by musicians and collaborators Emil White (sax/keys/vocals), Emmitt Leacock (drums), and Bella Tian (vocals/keys). Hailing from Guelph, Ontario, Canada, their music plays on the exploratory realm of Indie-Soul, characterized by jazz-influenced melodies, danceable basslines, and transcendent layered vocals. Their sound is a synthesis of influences like Stevie Wonder, Hiatus Kaiyote, Amy Winehouse, Daft Punk, and Erykah Badu, making the music compelling and curious with lyrics from the heart. CBC’s Laila Biali aptly describes their sound as “Music that exists in a sonic world of its own”.
646yf4t
“Babyfat” obliterates genre boundaries, blending sounds so unpredictably that even he struggles to define them. “I just keep it real. Life’s messy — my production, my storytelling, all of it. But I do it anyway, ’cause that’s what’s true. That’s between me and God.”
Hailing from Oshawa, Ontario, Babyfat — born Zachary Simmonds — came up as a producer before deciding the only way to fully realize his vision was to step into it himself. In 2025, he did exactly that. His debut EP, Growing Pains (Sincerely Yours) announced him as a singular voice: stream-of-consciousness storytelling over genre-bending soundscapes, moving between alt-R&B, punk-rock, and something entirely his own. The project is a coming-of-age story told without flinching — heartbreak, faith, isolation, and the will to prevail through all of it. He closed out the year with a feature on his brother Daniel Caesar’s Son of Spergy (Republic), appearing alongside Bon Iver, Sampha, and Blood Orange on the Billboard 200 Top 10 album.
2026 marks his first steps on stage. He made his live debut supporting Chris LaRocca at Longboat Hall in Toronto before taking the Danforth Music Hall stage alongside Strings From Paris — proving his world translates just as powerfully in a room full of people as it does on record.

Featuring rich melodies, distinct vocals, and a genre-bending set that keeps things interesting from start to finish, there’s no better way to spend your Sunday!
