Originally founded as rude_fm by artist Outback, and revived by myself and Adam Nickel, Passkey is an experimental music label based in Vancouver and Zürich.
As the design director of the group, I overlook and produce the design of all posters, advertisments and content creation.
Passkey supports hosting creative acts, specifically experimental DJs and musicians, with industry leading stage design and production.
Using digital platforms such as HKCR, Passkey is able to reach a global audience of over 10,000 combined listeners. Collaborations with tech artists enrich the experience, exploring possibilities in experimental music.
In addition to my role as design director, I actively seek out artists for collaborations on all of our platforms. The goal is to push the envelope of what experimental music can bring to the world of live entertainment. These endeavors contribute to Passkey's identity as a platform that not only showcases art but also actively pioneers the convergence of artistic expression.
