Montreal is packed with talent, but there's no denying that not everyone gets the same opportunities to express their talent as others. That's exactly why Chuong Trinh, otherwise known as Lil Waterboi, decided to start Bahay Collective in 2019 because he felt as though there wasn't enough representation for BIPOC artists in the Montreal music scene."Our ambition has always been to support the local and BIPOC scene. We originally focused on the Asian community because when I started making music, I didn't see a lot of things like this," he explained. So Lil Waterboi took it upon himself to start a music collective that could provide opportunities for artists where he didn't see there were many.
