Small World Music is so excited to be partnering with Our Music Festival to present this year’s headliner, Alysha Brilla!

In just a few years, OUR MUSIC FESTIVAL - a new Toronto-based festival - has made remarkable strides in cultivating a more inclusive music industry by spotlighting women and gender-diverse artists. Their programming also prioritizes BIPOC and queer creators and spans a wide range of musical genres, resulting in a culturally vibrant and unique festival experience. They are working hard to address the gender disparity in the music industry and have shown incredible growth and community involvement via their partnerships. They have quite the festival planned for this year, so get your early bird tickets now!

Full lineup will be released on February 17th, 2026.

About the Artists:
Three-time JUNO Award and Canadian Screen Award nominee, Alysha Brilla, seamlessly blends global roots and folk. Drawing from her Indo-Tanzanian roots and Great Lakes spirit, Brilla creates music rich in rhythm, storytelling and cultural depth. Her powerful voice, percussive guitar and radiant stage presence have captivated audiences across North America, Australia, Europe and Africa.

Performing with her dynamic band featuring one-man band Sammy Duke and Jamaican reggae royalty percussionist Gerima Harvey, Brilla delivers an immersive, joy-filled live experience that bridges genres and generations. Also an award-winning film composer, she has collaborated with Grammy-winning artists and produced acclaimed cross-cultural projects that uplift and unite.

At the heart of her work lies a celebration of connection, identity and the transformative power of sound, inviting audiences into a shared rhythm of belonging and joy.
