Jay Myers
Jay has been playing music for over 25 years and enjoys performing, recording/producing, and teaching lessons. He currently lives in Daajing Giids and plays in numerous local acts such as surf rock outfit, "The Pseudos" and psychedelic-one-man-band, "The Alkemist". He runs a small music studio on island that aims to make recording accessible for local musicians and is excited to work with local talent, whether it be playing as a studio musician or producing albums etc. Jay has worked on various projects over the past years including audio recording for NFB's "Now is the Time" and APTN's "Amplified" TV series
David Archer
David is a composer, pianist, writer, and marketer based in Daajing Giids. Honesty, empathy, and climate action are central themes in David’s creative work. His portfolio includes music composed for choirs, vocalists, ensembles, and instrumentalists; music production for video projects; and plenty of time spent as a lounge lizard playing solo piano. David also brings significant marketing agency experience, including strategy, project planning, copywriting, and content creation.
Through collaboration, David hopes his skills can support the Haida Gwaii Media Collective’s mission to address systemic inequalities. One of his recent projects is an album of original music for piano and biosphere. His single “Primordial” is sometimes heard on CBC Daybreak North. You can support his work through Patreon or Bandcamp.
