Discover your new favourite artist
Each year, RBCxMusic spotlights up-and-coming Canadian artists through First Up with RBCxMusic – an initiative that puts emerging artists in the spotlight by providing unique performance opportunities, mentorship and funding, plus media and marketing support.
This year, 20 artists from across the country made the cut, including Saveria from London, Ontario, LIZA from Toronto and Quebec's Joseph Sarenhes.
This summer, First Up with RBCxMusic Featured Artist and East Coast rocker Nick Earle took to the Kitchen Stage at the Cavendish Beach Music Festival.
"What an amazing opportunity to share a stage with such incredible artists and have the chance to take in so much music as well," said Nick Earle. "A massive thank you to RBCxMusic for helping make my first Cavendish Beach Music Festival a massive success."
