Velavox is an award-winning alternative pop duo from British Columbia, made up of Nicole Gibson (vocals, synths) and Chris Kelly (vocals, synths, electric guitar). Known for their heartfelt lyrics and dynamic production, the duo blends shimmering synths, electric guitar, and dual vocals to create a sound that is both emotionally resonant and sonically rich.
Velavox has released a series of tracks in collaboration with various artists and producers, earning them spots on prominent Spotify playlists such as New Music Friday, Mint Canada, Tantra, and Dance Fresh Finds. They’ve also opened for notable acts like Hey Ocean!
The duo’s momentum has been fueled by support from major Canadian music development platforms, including being selected for the RBCxMusic First Up program and masterclass, as well as the Canadian Music Incubator.
In 2023 and 2024, Velavox focused on live performance, playing festivals across British Columbia and beyond, including BreakOut West Festival (Saskatoon), Watson St. Music Festival (Vancouver), Jam in Jubilee (Abbotsford), REVY Live!(Revelstoke), Parks Alive (Kelowna), Name it Yourself (Squamish), Chilliwack Mural Festival, and AMPS Festival (North Vancouver), among others.
