"Meet me at the corner of WILLARD & KATT" - an intersection on producer/artist Vie Aten's musical journey through space and time where Music transcends Life.

The WILLARD & KATT project pushes the boundaries. Under indie label Vie Recordings, producer Vie Aten is in the the final stage of this highly experimental compilation album.


VIE ATEN (Bio)

‘A’ for audio and ‘V’ is for vinyl! Actually, hang for a beat and discover much, much more. Montreal native, Vie Aten can be found playing any musical instrument lying around.

Throughout his High School and University years, Vie recorded R&B, Hip Hop, Arabic, Dancehall and Culture Reggae Mixtapes and saw to its distribution! He’d spin at parties and even hosted a weekly Conscious Reggae radio program, “The Higher Heights Vibrations” aired on local station K103.7FM. Vie’s love for musical diversity became evident byway of a series of CD compilations that was embraced by many. His taste for World music transported listeners across the globe, further revealing his ability of boundless creative expression. Finally we caught a true glimpse of his passion and remarkable talent for producing. The series reportedly reached the hands of Jamaican Dub poet/Actor/Radio host, Mutabaruka and was highlighted on Muta’s controversial weekly radio show “Cutting Edge” on Jamaica’s own IRIE FM.

Eventually packing up and heading for Toronto, Vie attended the Harris Institute for the Arts studying Sound Production / Engineering. It wasn’t long before, he built his own studio, mastering his craft while recording his own material. His sound took form, rich with roots stemming from his Egyptian background and World, Reggae, Hip Hop and Pop music influences. Blurring borders, inspired by the many influences crossing his path, he bridges the times reminiscent of basement parties, soul and vinyl.

Vie is currently putting the final touches on his debut album entitled "Vie Recordings presents... WILLARD & KATT" featuring vocals by Johann Michael, Mikial aka Desol Da Don, Jayson Ray and G Dove.
