Now streaming on the JUNO Awards channels, episode six chronicles Desi-born, Brampton-based rapper, Fateh as he opens up about the highs and lows of becoming his most authentic self
TORONTO – The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) announced today the release of the sixth episode of The JUNO Awards’s docuseries, Rising. The latest installment, now streaming on the JUNO Awards Facebook and YouTube channels, highlights Brampton-based, pioneering Desi rapper, Fateh. The digital content series, presented by TD, has garnered over 1 million streams across all platforms. Each episode examines the creative process and story behind various up-and-coming Canadian artists. TD strongly believes in the power of music to unite us and to create a sense of community, which is why it has been a supporter of Canadian music and artists since 2003.
“Growing up, music was my diary, where I penned my most intimate thoughts within a song. Sharing it with the world was the rawest expression of my journey,” says Fateh. “It also gave me a connection to community in a way I couldn’t have ever imagined. An entire generation of young Sikh and South Asians that found a common bond and experience within a verse, song or album. The Rising project by the JUNOS brings my story to life and I’m excited to share my story with the world.”

The project launched in November 2018, with its debut video starring electro-pop duo Once A Tree, its second installment with one of Canada’s best-kept secrets in rap, Night Lovell, its third episode with two-time JUNO Award nominee Ali Gatie, fourth instalment with Somali-Canadian singer-songwriter Amaal and most recent release highliging singer/songwriter and actress, CARYS.

Rising Episode Six: Fateh Presented by TD
In this sixth episode, Fateh Singh shares his journey from being a hip-hop fan as a child to emulating some of his favourite artists in the early days of his career to finally becoming an original standalone international force in the genre. Born in Bangkok, Thailand to Sikh parents from Jalandhar, Fateh moved to California at the age of six with his family where his love for hip-hop began. When his family later relocated to Toronto, Ontario he began creating his own music. Fateh’s latest album, Goes Without Saying, was released in October 2020. The latest episode can be viewed here.
