Episode description

Born and raised in bilingual Montreal, Toronto-based Pop/R&B entertainer, IAMREBELWILL is influenced by the showmanship of Janet Jackson, the eclectic artistry of Andre 3000 and the vibes and feels of Kaytranada. 

“Addicted” is the launch single of Rebel’s upcoming project, RebelFuturism (late 2021). “Addicted” is simply an anthem on being hopelessly in love,” declares IAMREBELWILL. “ I spent a huge portion of my life afraid to be myself and this project allows me to finally be authentically Rebel! My ultimate goal is to use my voice to challenge the stereotypical perspective in mainstream pop music and help empower the underrepresented LGTBQ+ and POC community to be fearlessly themselves.” 

RebelFuturism, is seductive, contemporary R&B, soaked in the neon bleached nightclub vibes of house bass-lines, infused with irresistible pop hooks and melodies. “It’s a soundtrack for modernity, addressing sexuality, sexual fluidity, identity and equality,” says Rebel. “As a proud queer black man I wanted to create something that gave a voice to my experience and a voice to folks whose stories the majority of time are not told.”

"Addicted,' produced by Nick Katz, Tafari Anthony Davis & Anthony Williams, is the lead single off of RebelFuturism (Fall 2021)
