About the event
Francis Arevalo is a Filipino multi-hyphenate, primarily known as an artist and producer. Known for his personal storytelling, thoughtful messages, and colourful production, he creates music to uplift, inspire, and energize himself and his communities. His music has been described as if he has "found and embraced a truth deep within himself, that he sees the world not through rose-coloured glasses, but in shades of optimism, hope, and beauty" (DOMINIONATED). He is also a passionate mental health advocate whose journey battling bipolar disorder through music was the subject of a 2017 Vancouver Asian Film Fest award-winning documentary "The Lion"; for this, he was named one of the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health Top 150 Canadian mental health advocates of 2018.
