Weed

Vancouver-based outfit Weed comprises married couple Dan and Cristina Handrabur. Both natives of Bucharest, they escaped Romania for Geneva yet first crossed paths as fellow students at the city’s Conservatoire. Shared passions for music and art sparked their creative partnership, which soon blossomed into romance. After finishing his studies, Dan relocated with his family to Toronto; Cristina followed a year later, and the pair wed. Under the Weed banner they fuse funk, trip-hop, and electronica into a singular sound crowned by Cristina’s singular voice. Their first album, Hard to Kill, appeared in 1999.
