Emery Farquhar is an R&B-pop artist from North Bay, Ontario, now based in Toronto. “DOTTED LINE” is his debut single: melodic R&B writing over vintage synths and heavy drums, in the lane between The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber.

A member of Nipissing First Nation, Emery grew up on the north shore of Lake Nipissing, and that landscape still runs through the work. He’s also a certified mixing engineer at Abstract Studios in Toronto.

Hot AC leads, with 11 of the 14 spins.
