Kalvonix on Nostalgia, Music Ownership & Why Every Song Is a Time Capsule

In Part 2 of my sit-down with Kalvonix, we go deep into the mind of one of Canada's most introspective and creative indie hip-hop artists. From growing up with cerebral palsy to building a dedicated fanbase, Kalvonix explains how his vivid memory and love for storytelling have shaped both his music and videos. He shares details about his upcoming synthwave-inspired pop album “Mr. Nostalgia,” where he ditches rap entirely to experiment with 80s aesthetics, catchy melodies, and full-on vocal delivery.

We discuss how every song he writes serves as a time capsule of moments, feelings, and personal milestones—from heartbreak to healing to celebrating life’s small wins. Kalvonix also opens up about writing for film, contributing a song to the indie movie Road to Thriller on Amazon Prime, and performing in front of 12,000 people at the Vancouver Olympics where he caught the attention of a Grammy-winning Eminem producer.

He gets honest about the realities of indie music financing, the balance between day jobs and studio dreams, and how social media and streaming have become his tools for independence. Whether it's building music videos with childhood friends or turning memories into anthems, Kalvonix proves that every artist can create their own lane—without waiting for industry validation.
