Calgary, AB

Starting out as a teenage DIY rave maven in interior British Columbia, Carissa Gem has seen a substantial rise in profile since moving to Calgary. Her persistent desire to improve her curatorial and bass-tastic musical skills is paying off with membership in the Sub Chakra crew, a hand in the HiFi Club’s fixture New Wave nights and a prime Friday night slot on CJSW. Lord knows where the bass will take her next.
