My name is Evan Burnstick, a Cree from Alexander First Nation in Alberta, Canada. Born and raised off-reserve in Morinville, I moved frequently between there and Edmonton during my youth. Feeling disconnected from my culture and grappling with violence, drug use, and criminal activity, I sought solace through substance abuse and creating music. For years, I pursued a career in music, striving to embody the rockstar hip-hop artist lifestyle.

Seeking a fresh start, I relocated to Vancouver, BC, and later settled in Victoria, BC, where I had family support. Despite these changes, substance abuse remained a significant challenge.

My name is Mathias Millette, known by my stage name, Stax. I was born and raised in Victoria, BC (lək̓ʷəŋən Traditional Territory) on Vancouver Island. My family's roots stem from Beecher Bay (Sc'ianew) and Ahousaht.

   Now over three years sober, I have been steadily working on my craft putting out music to uplift our youth, and speaking truth of my past into every bar and verse I write. Composing music in hopes to inspire and motivate anyone who hears it.
