At Canopy, our Micro Loan Program is designed to give artists practical tools to strengthen their creative businesses.
For @mat_the_alien a micro loan supported the creation of merch and branded swag, helping generate income, offset costs, and reinforce his identity as an independent DJ and producer.
Merch isn’t just clothing. It’s visibility, sustainability, and a way artists stay connected to their audience long after the set ends.
This is what artist-first support looks like.

Man I had the best day yesterday with @mat_the_alien in studio making music & I swear this is the closest vibe ive felt since working with stagga, almost exactly the same element. Spend hours chatting about life and the music just happens naturally, then he showed me some old videos and posters of when stagga played and toured Canada.
This is the kind of energy I enjoy being around, I genuinely don’t care about clout and all the music politics I just wanna connect with REAL genuine people, I thoroughly enjoyed this session & we’re gonna premiere the track together in @shambhala_mf this summer
Just saying hi
Havnt been posting much. Lots of anxiety , hard to focus , hardly leave the house. But ive been working on lots of music , learning new gear and set ups. Taking some photos. Helping and sharing knowledge with other creative friends. Tryimg to do some counseling,cbt,meditation. But life can get pretty overwhelming
Merch will be up on my website store asap hopefully
Excited for summer

I’m so happy to be playing with my bro @mat_the_alien at @shambhala_mf for my 2nd set, He’s the guy that broke my music in Canada from when I started working with stagga and has consistently supported me for over 10 years now. One of realest people I’ve met in this music game & someone i respect highly 💯
