From his home base of St. John’s, NL, Baraka @brkwav carries with him a sound and spirit sure to deliver a world-class entertainment experience. Originally hailing from the coastal city of Dar-es-salaam, Tanzania, Baraka has been performing and writing music since his early teens. Drawing influences from artists such as Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, and Tracy Chapman, he has a natural talent for writing clever lyrics and infectious melodies.

Baraka`s masterful live looping skill as inspired by some of his idols, coupled with his charisma and ability to connect with an audience makes for an electric and engaging "one-man show." Through the guidance and support of Hurricane Music, the 2023 release of his debut EP, Voicemail, has garnered him recognition and respect in Newfoundland and Labrador and beyond; earning multiple placements in Spotify Editorial Playlists, the 2023 MusicNL Global Music Artist of The Year Award, and 2025/2025 ECMA African-Canadian Artist of The Year nominations; testaments that he is truly among the very best of his peers.
With plenty of charm, a vibrant smile, and complete devotion to his craft, Baraka continues to play shows in and around the East Coast of Canada, and is in the process of producing his debut album, due in 2025.

Singer-songwriter and troubadour Mike McKenna Jr. has become a compelling new voice in the North American folk scene. With a raspy, soulful delivery and warm acoustic tones, his songs are anchored by captivating storytelling and a deep connection to place. Born in the town of Glace Bay and raised along the Mira River, McKenna’s songwriting aesthetic draws heavily from his small-town Cape Breton roots. Across four studio albums, he has brought forward the nostalgia of home through stories about life and death in Nova Scotia’s coastal, working-class communities.
