A Journey Told Through Songs - with Toronto Artist Falc1

In this episode, Shaliza sits down with Toronto-based singer-songwriter Falc1, an independent artist carving out his own lane in Canada’s thriving music scene.

From early beginnings in a duo to building a solo career during the pandemic-era, Falc1 shares how he turned to social media, (especially TikTok) to grow a global audience. What started as a pivot during lockdown became a launchpad, connecting his music with listeners from around the world.

This conversation dives into:

The reality of being an independent Canadian artist

How TikTok changed the music game (and keeps changing)

The grind of wearing every hat — artist, editor, marketer, and more

Evolving from party tracks to deep, personal storytelling

Mental health, loss, and how real-life experiences shape authentic music

Building a global fanbase from Toronto — one live stream at a time

Falc1 opens up about finding inspiration through life’s highs and lows, staying resilient through rejection, and learning to celebrate small wins in an industry that rarely hands out easy victories.

This is a raw and honest look at what it takes to chase music in today’s digital world.
