7:45 pm — DijahSB

Rapper, singer, Internet sensation DijahSB is a Black non-binary artist rapping their way through hope, heartbreak, and breakthroughs. Influenced by the unguarded creative processes of Kid Cudi and Lupe Fiasco, they express themselves freely and unapologetically unique.

From Brazil, Australia, the US and the UK, they've amassed a cult following of creatives and fans who follow their Twitter for an unfiltered look at their life and opinions—from sports takes to political stances, offering a view into the world of an everyday artist trying to be heard, facing trials and tribulations head on. Over the years, Dijah has released EPs, LPs and mixtapes. In 2021, they released the critically acclaimed album Head Above the Waters, a kaleidoscope of lyricism, honesty, and clear vision that earned them increased attention and a spot on the 2021 Polaris Prize Shortlist, one of Canada's most coveted awards for songwriters.

Dijah's third LP The Flower That Knew tells their arc of wins and losses from the perspective of a flower. Accompanied by long-term collaborators Harrison, Cheap Limousine, and Veggi Beats, Dijah flows over soulful, bright beats with ease and purpose. The lesson is clear: through harsh storms, rough soil, snow or rain, a flower knows it's all part of growth. "Even before I grew into the person I was, I knew I would be destined to bloom." Recently, TFTK earned Dijah's second Polaris Prize Shortlist and their first Juno nomination in 2025 for Best Rap Album of the Year. With every release, Dijah moves closer to living comfortably, happily, and being a voice for the LGBTQ+ community.
