One of Canada's buzziest rising stars is the latest addition to The Feldman Agency (TFA)'s roster.
This week (May 6), the Feldman Agency announced that it had signed Sorisa, the 17-year-old rising pop star from Toronto. After months of gaining hype online, the artist now joins one of the biggest booking agencies in Canada.
"Sorisa made a ton of sense for us to sign here at TFA," says Tom Kemp, president of The Feldman Agency. "He’s part of a new wave of artists coming out of Toronto who are helping define the city’s sound. The buzz around him is real, driven by a committed and hungry fan base that continues to grow worldwide. Simply put, he’s an exciting act, and we wanted to be part of that story."

One of Billboard Canada's 2026 Artists to Watch, the teenage sensation began gaining prominence late last year on TikTok with his breakthrough single "U Look So Good In Fall," an electro-pop anthem that went viral with its interpolation of Pitbull's "Give Me Everything" and Sorisa's simple, DIY-style snippet videos filmed on his laptop. The young musician's online hype quickly turned into real-life momentum. In Nov. 2025, he made his headline debut at Lee's Palace in Toronto, a free concert that quickly filled up and had more eager fans stuck outside the 500-person venue.
Sorisa recently released his first EP I Love Colours (March 10), with five new tracks that showcase his signature blend of EDM and pop, mixing buzzing, electronic synths with bright keys and colourful melodies over which he croons and sings melodically. He immediately supported the release with a mini-tour called the I Love Colours Experience, playing the Mod Club in Toronto, the Mercury Theatre in New York and the Echo in Los Angeles later that month.
Beyond having a footprint in various cities, Sorisa star has been booked for some big festivals. This Saturday (May 9), he's set to make his festival debut at Rolling Loud in Orlando, sharing a spot on the same lineup as massive headliners like Playboi Carti and Don Toliver. He'll hit the stage again in his hometown of Toronto this August for the Canadian underground rap festival First Class Fest, which will host its biggest edition yet at the Bowl at Sobeys Stadium in Toronto from Aug. 28-29.

It's the latest in a series of signings that show the agency's finger on the pulse. TFA also handles booking for Angine de Poitrine, who witnessed a meteoric rise in popularity over the past months. "They all have a vision for where they want to go, and it helps me be a cog in the wheel of their careers. You could tell that they already thought this through and they have some momentum," Steve Himmelfarb, TFA's vice president told Billboard Canada in his recent Executive of the Week feature.
"I think we’re most excited about watching the growth of Sorisa, his music and his audience," Kemp adds. "That story is still unwritten, and it will take time, but that’s genuinely one of the best parts of being an agent: being part of the acceleration and having a hand in building an artist’s career from the ground up. It’s what keeps you in the game."
