“Five Minutes With” Calgary Electro-Pop Singer/Songwriter Premanition

Fatiha Rezwan, aka Premanition is a Bangladeshi Canadian artist. She started her musical journey in junior high, teaching herself guitar and being an active member of school choir groups for three years. At U of C, she studied electrical engineering at Schulich and also won the 2012 U of C idol competition, and performed in charity functions such as Leadfest and Outrun the Stigma. She was trained in classical singing for several years and pursued electronic music in her spare time, largely influenced by her love for synth wave and 80s music. This is the year that she will release her debut album, Head Games, which displays her acoustic roots. It also shows her skills not only as a singer, but a producer since she composed and recorded the entire album on her own with Evergreen Sound mixing/mastering. In wake of this new album, she is hosting a live show at Cafe Koi with a couple of other local artists and doing a local tour through the fall. Along with music, she is an avid writer of novels and short stories and also has her own webcomics online which she draws and writes herself. This year is only the beginning, there’s a lot more to come!
