DRAGON FLI EMPIRE: Dragon Fli Empire is Calgary's premiere hip hop act. The dynamic duo of
DJ Cosm and Teekay appeal to a wide variety of music fans with their upbeat, melodic and positive
sound. It all started with Mount Pleasant, their catchy tune about riding the bus. The cult popularity of
this unabashedly Calgary anthem propelled DFE from the basement to the national stage. The crew
enjoys heavy rotation on campus radio across North America (charting well on CMJ, Earshot and
ChartAttack) plus distribution deals in Finland and Japan. They released their most recent album
“Redefine” in 2009. They have also appeared numerous times on MuchMusic, CBC Radio and CBC
Television. DFE has toured across Canada and parts of the U.S., and has showcased their talents at
various festivals including Warped Tour, Calgary Folk Fest, Folk on the Rocks, Sled Island, Rock the
Bells, the Western Canadian Music Awards and JunoFest.

FALLAN SOLDIER: Vancouver hip hop/rap artist Fallan Soldier writes and produces all his lyrics
and music. Entering the scene in 2009 with the release of “Above The Call Of Duty”, he's been hailed
as “an exemplary singer-songwriter…specializing in hard-hitting beats and genre-mixing tracks with inventive lyrics and unique vocals” (AnE Vibe). The album has received praise for being “fresh,
upbeat and exceptional…Overall, a great piece of work” (NXEW). He followed the album's release
with a video of the song “Fights”, filmed in Vancouver. Fallan Soldier's live show includes tracks from
his album as well as some brand new club/dance tracks thrown in for this tour.
Following a number of performances in Vancouver and a tour to the Okanagan, Fallan Soldier, through
his independent label Dedication Entertainment, spearheaded the Move The Mountains Tour 2010
along with co-producer Dave Broderick of KERFMUSIC. Twenty hip hop artists from BC or Alberta
perform on one or more bills during this exciting tour.
Fallan Soldier is Harris Allan who began writing songs at 16 and produced a self-titled EP with his first
band Square9 in 2006. He has numerous acting credits since age 12—probably best known for his role
as series regular “Hunter” on Showtime's Queer As Folk.
