Debby Friday CA

Musician, multimedia artist and performer based in Vancouver

Born in Nigeria, raised in Montreal, and now based in Vancouver, Debby Friday’s work spans the spectrum of the audiovisual, resisting categorizations of genre and artistic discipline. She is at once sound theorist and musician, performer and poet, video artist, film director, and writer. In 2018, she released her first self-produced EP, Bitchpunk to underground acclaim. Her sophomore effort, Death Drive, was also self-engineered and produced and released in 2019 on independent label Deathbomb Arc. The release was accompanied by her first music video and directorial debut for the lead single “Fatal.” Her multidisciplinary art practice explores themes of ritual, transformation, and emotional intensity, as well as touching upon discourses of power, togetherness and eroticism. She has been featured in several publications, including: Pitchfork, Bandcamp Daily, the FADER, Discorder Magazine and more.
