Toronto, Ontario – DAX, the Canadian born independent Artist took to the stage as the powerhouse that he is & immediately had the crowd ecstatic.

It’s safe to say, DAX has a very vast, supportive fanbase.

DAX matches his performance, with the incredible efforts that go into every video concept in correlation with his music. Truly knows who he is as an Artist & it resonates with his audience.
I could hear people yelling, “Your music saved my life” through-out his heart-felt moments with the crowd.

Being an Indie Artist, is truly a struggle. This was no over-night success.
DAX has showed up & showed out in the name of his Art.
“Pain Paints Paintings” was this recent tour.

From Honest music, Anthem after Anthem, A Water-Drinking Contest with a few selected fans on stage.
Lee’s Palace in Toronto, Ontario, got one hell of a show.
DAX, showed a lot of growth, passion & remained humble as one of the most intriguing Artist’s of today

Ending the night with an encore, (Freestyle) that showcased his incredible metaphors & punchlines. DAX left his audience in awe. You are witnessing a diverse Artist with a lot to say.

I was honoured to capture some photographs of the performance.
Truly looking forward to the next tour.

Luqman is an Artist on the rise, but far from new to the Game.
An absolute power house of a performer with that electric energy.
