The indie art-pop band, Hush, forges dynamic and ethereal songs that bring together a multitude of different instruments and sounds. Their songs touch your heart with beautifully expressive lyrics while entrancing your ears with genre-bending sounds. The duo was formed by singer/songwriter Jessica Deutsch of the Toronto chamber-folk group Ozere, and multi-instrumentalist music producer Tyler Emond, who performed under the moniker Tennis Partner. They started casually writing songs together in late 2019, and decided to make it a real thing in 2020, just as the pandemic swept across the world. Their debut EP ‘Pull the Sky’ comes out Fall 2021, preceded by 2 singles ‘Land Waves’ and ‘Story of Gold.’
For many years they lent their performing talents to the likes of Alessia Cara, Leif Vollebekk, Tyler Shaw, BANNERS, Sarah Slean, The Great Lake Swimmers, the Canadian Arabic Orchestra and many others. Together they’re bringing a fresh new wave of music to listeners around the globe, influenced by their years of collaborating with these artists and writing for different projects.
