I am Josh Davidson from Masset, Haida Gwaii. My mom's from Masset and my dad's from Skidegate. I am from the Eagle clan. I am an artist with 20 years experience working with acrylic paints, wood, drum making, specializing in Haida form line and realistic designs. My finished works have been in demand nationally and locally. I am self taught and alway open to learning more about art and art production.

I’ve been making hip hop and folk and rock music for 25 years and have toured all over the world. I created a film called PLAY YOUR GENDER which addressed the lack of female producers worldwide (released in 2016). I scored EDGE OF THE KNIFE film, and am an experienced mentor who has worked at empowering young people and adults who are outliers - not native enough, not queer enough, not straight enough, not white enough, just … people who feel like they are not enough. I love working with outliers and have made music for the ones who don’t fit into the box since 1996. I work with minimal equipment for maximum results, and empower people to #usewhatyougot.

A locally known former MC of Skidegate, Haida Gwaii who inspired many to pick up a microphone and get their message out there. Recorded several rough mixtapes with original lyrics to well known instrumentals with friends.

I eventually decided I wanted to make the instrumentals, because I knew what sound I preferred, after hearing from a colleague that it could be done on a simple pc with the proper program.

I’ve been making beats electronic instrumentals since 2007. I went to music school (art institute of Vancouver) but could not create in that environment so I moved back to Haida Gwaii and went on to make almost 1000 beats to date.
