Tess Roby

Tess Roby is an artist, musician and photographer based in Montreal. An acclaimed songwriter, performer, producer, music video director and art director, she released her sophomore album “Ideas of Space” in April 2022 as the inaugural release on her record label, SSURROUNDSS. This album was produced entirely by Roby and featured collaborations with Austin Tufts (Braids), Joseph Shabason and Ouri. Her songs ride the lines between pop, ambient and alternative folk structures, with emphasis on voice as instrument. Her lyrics drift between dreams and memories, and are brought to life by the rich intimacy of her voice. Circling loops of synth rise alongside interweaving vocal patterns, effortlessly creating minimal yet complex soundscapes.
