He performs vocals solo alongside a laptop full of effects and audio plugins to make any plug and play performance sound straight out of the studio.

This allows him to mold his performance to whatever occasion presents itself, from easy listening all the way to club vibes.

BTHEGHOST with New Easy Listening Music Out Of Saskatoon
August 25, 2023
Saskatoon-based artist "BTHEGHOST" just released a new single shelter off his upcoming album "hostage."
Due to construction, B was unable to access his usual recording space, so his solution was to bring the studio to the shower, setting the microphone up on a stand placed in front of the shower head. After lighting a candle to avoid the brightness of the overhead light and finding a smooth instrumental to record over, B performed his most vulnerable and sincere ballad to date.
"BTHEGHOST" is becoming known as a mixing engineer and artist who focuses heavily on post production, but this single couldn't be more different, with most of the mixing being done by the shower and bathroom's acoustics. That unique combination of mood, setting, and mixing leaves the listener with a truly heartfelt and sincere experience.
