DEBBIE TEBBS


An iconic figure of Quebec’s electro-pop scene, Debbie Tebbs is a Montréal-based DJ, singer-songwriter and producer.

At the age of 16, she became one of the best DJs of her generation, with a passion for electronic rhythms.

Those who have seen Debbie Tebbs in concert, whether behind her turntables, her keyboards, her microphone or alongside her musicians, know that half measures never do for this artist with undeniable stage charisma. With a synth-pop deeply influenced by italo-disco, Tebbs has developed a unique way of combining these genres in today's electronic music. The Debbie Tebbs universe transports us in a rhythmic style where lively and catchy melodies evoke the vibrant atmosphere of the 80s.
