0 Dish On This – Holly Dish – Releases “Dishology” October 19th

She’s been an emcee in some of Vancouver’s and Whistler’s hottest clubs (sharing the stage with the likes of DJ Knowledge, Kenya, Seko and Praise, and more), she’s spent eight months in Maui performing with local band Crazy Fingers and now, Montrealer Holly Dish is finally ready to release her debut full-length album, Dishology, on Tuesday, October 19.

Recorded in her home town of Montreal with the help of local producer Voyce, you can call “Dishology” pop, you can call it hip-hop, but whatever you call it, its goal is clear: Inspire girls to proudly show off what they’re all about, and get guys nodding their heads in approval.

So open your mind and get ready as HollyDish sets out to infiltrate CD collections and radio airwaves nationwide with her independent, 10 track debut. It’s on and upwards from here!
