Her solo and collaborative work has been shown across Canada, and she was a selected artist for the Santa Muerta residency at the Santa Rosa Healing Arts Centre in 2023 which has lead to her work as a member of the Death Bloom artist collective. Her witching has taken her to Emily Hunt at the Berlin Art Institute, and to the Black Forest.

“Blending powerful drums, soaring lead vocal lines and
a driving arrangement of brass, violins and
synthesizers. ka lok drops an
angsty and charged sound that serves to demonstrate
his talents as a songwriter and performer. Full of
punching rhythm, ka lok offers a
compelling sound of cinematic alternative pop on this
worthy debut effort that builds excitement around his
new solo artist adventure.” – Plastic Mag
Performance Statement:
Ka lok will baptize the audience with a tsunami of sound, and the feelings of missing your own mother, with an incredible display of beautifully nostalgic visuals.
Hendrika, aka Amy Weisgarber (she/they) is a DJ from Treaty 4 inspired by house and techno tracks from the 1990s of their youth. Hendrika explores modern and nostalgic electronic remixes borrowing from disco, funk, boogie and soul, sure to get you bouncing!
