Every first Friday of the month, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Montreal hosts a relatively undiscovered rising star in the local community and gives them the opportunity to perform at the Nocturnal Fridays.

Now being the photographer for the event  means that I get to keep my ears open for free and get a free show while working! So far I've never been disappointed by the musicians that have been chosen for the events but Socalled was definitely something fantastically out of the ordinary (imagine a mix between Jewish rap/electric/traditional folklore all presented by one very charismatic man!)

Socalled is a musician, photographer, magician and writer. He started out on piano as a youngster, then took up the accordion and became interested in all kinds of music. After graduating from McGill, he made an animated film, while also writing for HOUR magazine and performing. An eclectic, hyperactive musician, he appears and records with numerous fellow artists. Socalled won a MIMI Award for (These Are) The Good Old Days. His latest album is titled Ghettoblaster.

Hope you enjoy the shots, and I highly recommend you listen to his album!
