Compassion, empathy, transparency, and true forgiveness are only Ronald Canady, has been influenced by the foundation of contemporary R&B, but infused with Gospel and Pop. From the tender age of 7 years old, as an only child, he watched his grandmother sing in the choir and listened to his mother casually cover Anita Baker songs. The heart and soul of the choir and the raw emotion his mother shared singing songs such as, “365 days” ignited his passion for music as an art form and allowed for the recognition of his own talent. Music blossomed within him as he grew to perform with an award winning group, “the Jazz Singers'', and instilled the dream in him for a solo career. For the past ten years, Canade – his artist name -- has performed at open mics, showcases, and talent revues both locally in the greater Atlanta area and NYC.
Cultivating his own sound by challenging the norm, Canadecovers deep cuts and obscure nostalgic gems in his sets that most artists would never even think of. With his complex lyrical content and compelling arrangements, he’s getting back to what R&B/Soul music is at its core, honest and raw. Canade’s brand is a complete package of complexity and sincerity. His sound, a compilation of a wide range of influences, is different from today’s music - not manufactured or copied.
Canade is a representation of authenticity and his story of redemption is heartfelt. He uses his platform to uplift others and it vividly paints his relationship with GOD. Compassion, empathy, transparency, and true forgiveness are only a few topics touched by this alien in his music.
Rising from the ashes like a phoenix, he’s resilience is captivating and inspiring. He’s ready to walk in his light and nothing will stand in his way. With persistence, passion, and purpose, he is ready to give the world something to imitate.... but never duplicate.

Cast of CBC's ‘Sort Of ‘
Sort Of is a CBC and HBO Max original series;
Sort Of airs in Canada beginning Tuesday, November 9 on CBC TV with back-to-back episodes starting at 9 p.m. (9:30 NT); and available to stream on CBC Gem, CBC’s streaming service.
Sort Of is a groundbreaking new CBC and HBO Max original series that follows a gender-fluid millennial South Asian character named "Sabi" who straddles various identities from bartender at a queer bookstore/bar, to the youngest child in a large Pakistani family, to the de facto parent of a downtown Toronto hipster family. A coming-of-age story, the series exposes the labels we once poured ourselves into as no longer applicable...to anyone.
The series unapologetically represents and pushes against the walls of underrepresentation on TV to create space for queer people of South Asian, Muslim backgrounds; and of colour across North America and beyond.
Sort Of is co-created, co-written and stars Bilal Baig (they / them) - a queer, trans-feminine, Muslim playwright, performer and workshop facilitator, whose first play, Acha Bacha, had its world premiere in 2018 and has been published by Playwrights Canada Press.
