Mecca of Stank
Blending elements of r&b, old school hip hop, soul, funk, jazz, reggae, and Latin music, Mecca of Stank has been performing music since 2019. One of the funkiest and soulful bands to come out of Ottawa in recent years, their debut single 'Dopamine Dreams' garnered them much critical acclaim in 2022. Nominated for a 2023 OMIC Capital Music Award for Best Newcomer, they are releasing their 8th single, 'Mon Aura', in December and their mission is to entice the listener into a heightened state of musical euphoria (i.e., the stank face), to promote love and positive vibes.
