VELVET VIXEN
Dontmesswithjuan has been drawn to and immersed in the artistic world from a very young age. She has been writing lyrics and music for over a decade. Learning how to produce electronic music gave her the ultimate tool to share her creativity.
Her infinite need to escape human reality has shaped her art. Originally from Montreal, she is unfolding into her own genre called Surrealist Electronica, where her philosophical questions, haunting voice, dark textures, glitchy foley beats, and surrealist videos collide, creating a world outside of the human truth. Her video editing skills come in handy to fulfill her mission with her music production, her music videos and her stories, to release the creative power of your unconscious mind.
Every album will be an endless cycle lived by a designated character. Every song is a level in the cycle. Every character is a part of her. Adaptable to many different genres, Dontmesswithjuan enjoys creative collaborations where she brings her colour to produce an intriguing fusion with talented artists.
She ended up working with visual artist Abraham Merr who creates every song’s artwork, to bring another dimension to the stories, a new perspective and a recognisable experience.
Dontmesswithjuan and the record label SONO Music Group have released her debut album Juan & the Pursuit of Happiness in 8 singles, written, recorded, produced and mixed by herself. Each single represents a level into fictional character Juan’s quest to shed light on his questions of purpose. He will go on the search to find happiness, to find some unchanging truth, but he will end up finding something else.
