Five Minutes With: Electronica Musician Aizysse Baga

Aizysse Baga is a Montréal-based music artist and performer from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. They are known for their bold and distinctive artistic universe, blending alternative, pop and electronic sounds with live performances. Active for over a decade, Aizysse has established a strong presence in Montréal’s artistic scene through a multidisciplinary approach that combines music creation, artistic direction, and cultural event production. They stand out with a flamboyant aesthetic, a striking stage presence, and a provocative tone often laced with risqué humour and social satire. Aizysse has performed at major festivals and cultural events, including Fierté Montréal, Taverne Tour and the MURAL Festival, as well as in key venues of the city’s independent scene such as Bain Mathieu, L’Escogriffe, and Quai des Brumes. Their sonic and visual world is rooted in a distinctly queer and underground approach, fusing poetic storytelling, immersive electronic textures, and avant-garde performance.

Founded:

My artist career started in 2015, but I truly stepped into the beautiful world of music in 2021.

My EP Aizysse was released in 2023, and Divacore on July 31st, 2026, at the beginning of Montreal’s Pride.

Latest Single:

“Game Over”

Latest Video:

“Iconic,” my music video entirely filmed on Super 8mm, was released and awarded at the Fantasia International Film Festival in 2025.

Favourite musician growing up:

That’s a hard one. Here’s my top 3 because I can’t choose just one: Madonna, Black Eyed Peas, and Rihanna.

Favourite musician now:

I would say Shygirl, Allie X, Frigid, and Slayyyter hold a special place in my playlists.

Guilty pleasure song:

We have a tie here: “International Thing” by Dead or Alive and “Williams’ Blood” by Grace Jones.

Live show ritual:

I like to go around and meet people before going on stage if time allows it. I also love getting to know the artists and bands sharing the night with me. Creating connections with the people around you creates better synergy and helps make a show memorable because of the chemistry that’s built throughout the night.

Favourite local musician:

That’s a hard question! But here are 3 local musicians I’m actively listening to at the moment: Le Belladone, Frigid, and Annie Sama.

EP or LP?

LP

Early bird or night owl?

Night Owl

Road or studio?

Both, for different reasons. I love being in the studio creating new sounds and songs with my bandmate Adélaïde. That’s where we let everything out creatively and push ourselves forward without limitations.

I also love going on the road and performing. Being on stage is my happy place. I’m a performer first and foremost, so nothing can beat the feeling of releasing all that energy and bringing the party to a venue.

Any shows or albums coming up?

My EP Divacore was released on July 31st. I’m incredibly proud of the work Adélaïde and I created together on this project. It’s a glimpse into the world we are building in an unapologetically queer way. Also, I will be performing a full set at the FME 2026 in Abitibi-Témiscamingue on September 5th.
