Get to know November’s PEAK Artist of the Month – Bestfriend!
Bestfriend is Stacy Kim and Kaelan Geoffrey, a Canadian duo who started making music together in 2018 after meeting through mutual friends and Instagram DMs. What began as a bi-coastal, long-distance project (Stacy writing and producing from Vancouver, Kaelan from Toronto) has grown into a collaboration built on connection, storytelling, and dreamy pop production.
Their first two EPs, places i’ve lived (2021) and places i’ve left (2023), earned nearly 2M streams and praise from Alternative Press, The Line of Best Fit, EARMILK, and Exclaim!, with support from Spotify’s New Music Friday (CA), Lorem, and RADAR Canada. Their latest project, BESTFRIEND HAS AN IDENTITY CRISIS, has been featured by Billboard and Stereogum, received heavy rotation on SiriusXM, and appeared on New Music Friday US and Apple Music’s New in Alternative.
Stacy’s favourite venue is the Fox Cabaret, which Bestfriend got the pleasure of headlining in September of 2023!
