Mehdi Bahmad is a Moroccan-born Canadian-raised indie alt-pop singer-songwriter. Before moving to Montreal at the age of 8, Mehdi and his family lived in Morocco and South of France. His warm and seductive universe traverses contemporary pop with classical instrumental sounds and foreign tones of oriental influences. Between a poet and a pop persona, he outpours his own thoughts and feelings in a distinguishing epic and dramatic way. Formerly trained in visual arts, Mehdi proposes a narrative universe at the intersection of various sensorial disciplines. His debut single ‘Rouge à Lèvres’ is an atmospheric and layered romantic appeal questioning gender expression and was premiered online by iHeart Radio Canada.
