Here it is! Our performance of the Canadian National Anthem for the Atlanta United vs Montreal game at Mercedes Benz Stadium on May 2nd 2026 :-) šØš¦ā½ļøšŗšø Thank you for having us! We had the best time š„°
I got a phone call from Ruby Velle in March asking if I wanted to come sing the Canadian National Anthem with her at Mercedes Benz for the Atlanta United vs. Montreal game. Ruby and I both share rich childhood memories of living in Canada and have a tender spot in our hearts for Canada, so, I said YES, OF COURSE. My dad was born and raised in Montreal, so I called him to see if heād fly down from Canada for this one. He did. He stood there on the stage with us along with my momma, my sister, and my future wife and future in-laws as we sung the beautiful song of Canada to a stadium full of people š„¹ We all met up in the stands with Rubyās wonderful family. Thanks to Rubyās gracious heart, I got to bring my family and friends together for a very special occasion, and I am forever grateful! Iām still in awe of the power of song and the way it brings people together. More photos and video to come! :-)

A lil live at one time update from ya gyal! I know itās been a minute but I appreciate folk like @liljohnroberts + @chuckreece who tuned in earlier today.
Lots of happenings to share- most incredible of which is Iāll be singing the Canadian National Anthem at the @atlutd game vs @cfmontreal this evening along w my friend and fellow Canadian , multi-instrumentalist, producer, recording artist @cszegi5
And the best part? We honor AAPI MONTH today!!
The commemorative scarf designed by Neha Patel is a symbol of strength and was inspired by women as warriors. We will wear it with honor this evening, trying not to cry jumbo tears of joy on the jumbo screen!
To every south eastern Asian artist, I encourage you to keep going even when things get hard. And please donāt forget to enjoy the fruits along the way. Our voice matters!
Last but not least, Iād like to thank my sister @scmartin_511 for not only bringing me into the ATLUTD universe but for also coordinating my family to be here for this very special occasion. Love you!
Tonight Ruby and her quartet, RV4 will bring our soulful sounds to the main stage of Illumine, a beautiful display of culture, art and light. Tickets on sale for this eve and the rest of this series, at the one and only @oaklandcemetery
11 years ago, Waheguru Ji and our families allowed for our godfather of soul @mrleefields to beautifully sing our fav song āHoney Doveā for us while we celebrated a life of creativity and love flourishing. SOULFAM STRONG. Extremely blessed for our teeny circle, the friends bringing warmth through each season (you know who yāall are) and of course this incredible partner of mine, growing and evolving alongside my own growth and evolution. I love you endlessly Alex! ššļø#happyanniversarymylove
