Jeff Sanon
Hailing from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Jeff Sanon is a dynamic artist, producer, and songwriter whose sound fuses R&B, hip-hop, and alternative influences. With a sharp ear for innovative production and compelling songwriting, he has collaborated with notable artists such as Jahkoy, Ye Ali, City Fidelia, Jydn Hill, Dom Vallie, Vic Mensa, and Torch.
His talent has earned him industry recognition, including a co-sign from SZA and a strong musical relationship with Mike Zombie, the producer behind Drake’s Started From the Bottom. Jeff’s career has taken him to key creative spaces, such as FRMULA, where he contributed as a producer and engineer. He also traveled to New York, where he had the opportunity to showcase his music to Parks, the engineer from The Joe Budden Podcast.
With a forward-thinking approach and a commitment to pushing sonic boundaries, Jeff Sanon continues to make his mark as a rising force in the music industry.

Important Notes:

Every Instrument will be provided by the house.
Access to stage is a first-come, first-serve process.
The amount of instruments and microphones present on the stage will determine how many can stay on the stage at one time.
We will have the “RED BIRD PICK” of the night. This pick will be chosen by staff at Red Bird and will encourage one participant of the night to close the show with another performance.
There will be opportunities to network and possibly be featured in future events as a featured emcee or instrumentalist.
