Many thought Canada’s equivalent of the Grammy Album of the year was a sure thing for Carly Rae Jepsen. Talented artist and super producer Kaytranada had other plans. The Montreal born XL alum scored the Polaris Prize beating out a stout list of some of the best talent from up north with the masterpiece of “99.9%.”

Catch Kaytranada on his victory lap tour with a Denver date on October 7 at the Ogden Theater.
