Lunice Fermin Pierre II is a Canadian interdisciplinary artist based in Montreal, with hands-on experience in music, live performances, and interactive systems.

Experimenting with electro-synth sounds layered over pounding bass and drums, he soon developed a sonic aesthetic that set the tone in the Rap/Electronic music scene with Hudson Mohawke as one-half of TNGHT in 2012.

Over the last 18 years he's balanced himself within major and independent circles globally from being the main opening act for Madonna on a Stadium World Tour in 2017, to contributing to Ye's Yeezus for "Blood on the Leaves" which has landed him a Grammy nomination and multi-platinum recognition in addition to releasing a collaboration EP with
The Alchemist.

He also worked with cultural institutions like Moment Factory, Society for Arts & Technology, and Cirque du Soleil.

These collaborations stand as proof of his ability to execute projects that resonate on a global scale.
