Chxrry presents « The Ego Tour »

Chxrry presents The Ego Tour lands at Drake Underground in Toronto on August 31, 2026. Toronto-based R&B artist Chxrry22 crafts a stripped-back, atmospheric sound that sits between alt-R&B and pop, shaped by Ethiopian roots and the city’s current scene. Signed to XO Records with Republic, she set the tone with the 2022 debut EP The Other Side, then refined it on 2023’s Siren: short song forms, close-miked vocals, discreet electronics, trap-tinged percussion, and harmonies that slip from spoken confessions to soft, lifted lines.

On stage, she leans into slow tempos and intimate writing around desire and vulnerability, keeping the voice front and center while the production holds a low, steady pulse. The Ego Tour brings that palette live, moving between introspective ballads and tighter, rhythmic cuts, with layered choruses and a delivery that shifts from whisper to a stronger register when the beat calls for it. A snapshot of where her R&B sits now, and how it keeps evolving, right from Toronto.
