 DE.VILLE is a half Quebec, half Moroccan duo, comprised of the musician and producer simonpierre and the singer Ziad Qoulaii. Their melancholy sound and their hard-hitting bass and percussion pair well with Ziad’s unique vocals. DE.VILLE borrows from Raï, North African, and West African music while fully identifying with Montreal’s music scene. With a linguistic repertoire consisting of Darija, classical Arabic, French, and English, the multicultural aspect of the project reflects the reality of Quebec and is a reaction to the obsolete classification that is “world music” They release their debut project Sables in 2018 (Which won the best ''World Music'' album/Ep at the GAMIQ), followed by the single Semhilia with Jamaz. At the end of 2020, they released the small Ep Atlantique with their first music video. In 2021, they collaborated with the Moroccan rapper Raid on the song Exil, which charted in the top 50 most streams songs on Spotify and Deezer in Morocco. They are now working on their first LP, releasing from time to time a single.
