BIO
King Cardiac features frontman Gabriel DeSantis and members of Toronto’s Heavyweights Brass Band exploring matters of the heart through heavy soul and brooding R&B. After living in London, UK for the last two years and touring his solo set throughout Europe, DeSantis returned to Toronto with a fresh ear and new inspiration. This band sees the marriage of DeSantis’ “Mesmerizing and darkly curious” songwriting (CBC music) with the teeth of The Heavyweights, a “molten mix of elegance and brute force” (Toronto Music Report). The potent combination of fervent vocals and stormy musicianship makes King Cardiac wholeheartedly unique and distinctly Canadian.
