DOUBLE EXPERIENCE

Double Experience is an internationally touring rock duo known for blending nerd culture with high-energy performances and smart songwriting. Their 2024 crowd-funded release "Undefeated" was created via a series of songwriting and studio livestreams sessions, earning a nomination for "Album of the Year" at the Capital Music Awards. Their DIY ethic led to hundreds of shows across 17 countries and the launch of Twitch Music’s artist incubator program called "The Collective". The band has earned critical acclaim, securing grants from FACTOR, SOCAN, and Kinaxis, and more. Presently, this expertise has culminated in the creation of "The NXT LVL", a 5 day festival supporting emerging artists in Ottawa.
