Hailing from the beautiful city of Montreal, Canada, is Vivie-Ann Bakos, who makes music under the moniker Blond:ish.
As of late 2018, Vivie-Ann and Anstascia have amicably parted ways professionally, and Vivie-Ann will continue as Blond:ish solo, spreading joy and spirituality through her solo performances and recordings, while Anstascia will pursue other passions and her own personal mission to spread love through music.
We are thrilled to welcome this newly focused iteration of Blond:ish to Metropolis with an exclusive guest mix ahead of her highly anticipated DJ set at this year’s Coachella festival. Catch her both weekends in the infamous Yuma tent!
Read our exclusive Q+A with Blond:ish below!
Hi Blond:ish!
Could you give us the scoop behind the name Blond:ish, and how it came to be?
We ran a night on Wednesdays at Cherry Nightclub in Montreal called Blond:ish. After a while, people started calling us Blond:ish and it just stuck!
After a magical 11 years together you and musical partner Anstascia have decided to part ways as Blond:ish. As you are continuing on your new path as Blond:ish solo, how are you envisioning your creative process changing as a solo act?
