Aswell

Aswell steps onto the MTELUS stage in Montréal on 11 April 2026. A new voice in Quebec rap with a singular tone, he built his path from streaming to big rooms, crossing the 55 million plays mark and earning a gold single with Leaving. First noticed with the EP Solo (2021), he set his direction with Banlieue (2024), launched at a packed Club Soda. On record and on stage, he blends emo rap, pop hooks and a streak of Québécois folk, switching between confessional verses and melodies that stick without forcing it.

His writing looks at tangled relationships, doubt and the need to make sense of it all, with a directness that keeps the emotion upfront. The show carries that hybrid energy: sparse beats, guitars in the mix, and vocals that stay close to the bone. After stops at the Francos de Montréal, the FEQ and major festivals across the country, Aswell brings his current set to a venue built for that intensity. MTELUS, 59 Rue Sainte-Catherine Est, H2X 3P5 Montréal, Canada.
