Myst Milano

Myst Milano is a Canadian rapper and DJ.[1] Their debut album Shapeshyfter was released in 2021,[2] and was longlisted for the 2022 Polaris Music Prize.[3]

Originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Milano is a longtime DJ in Toronto's ballroom community, and is queer and non-binary.[4] The album was launched in part with a performance at Toronto's Garrison club as an opening act for Cadence Weapon at the venue's first live show since the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown of the live music scene.[5]

In October 2021, they also released the non-album single "No Atlas", a collaboration with Montreal producer Mind Bath.[6]

Beyond the Uncanny Valley was a longlisted nominee for the 2024 Polaris Music Prize.[7]
