DEF3 is a Western Canadian award-winning electronic hip-hop Emcee, producer and DJ, redefining how live vocals, electronic music, and rap energy collide on festival stages. With 12M+ streams across platforms, he’s known for bass-driven, high-voltage sets where songwriting, performance, and production operate as one force. His catalogue includes collaborations with leading electronic artists such as Dr. Fresch, Mr. Bill, Late Night Radio, K+lab, SoDown, Wonky Willa, Krafty Kuts, Amp Live (Zion I), The Funk Hunters, Defunk, and more, alongside releases on respected EDM labels including Monstercat, Wakaan, Housecall, Lowtemp, LSDREAM’s Trippy Bee, Finger Lickin’, and Westwood Recordings. He’s also earned major respect in the hip-hop world, collaborating with underground heavyweights like Del The Funky Homosapien and Masta Ace, and sharing stages with Nas, The Roots, Wu-Tang Clan, Big Boi, Flatbush Zombies, Hilltop Hoods, House of Pain, Salt-N-Pepa, and cross-genre icons Post Malone and Nelly. His sound blends the storytelling and emotional depth of hip hop with the weight, tension, and release of bass music—moving crowds physically while landing on a human level. Beneath the low-end power is a clear intent: to leave people lighter, more open, and fully charged. Treating the mic, decks, and production as a single instrument, DEF3 stands at the intersection of rap and electronic culture, carving out a lane for vocal-led electronic music.
