City
Fidelia
An artist from a small city with big dreams. Sold-out shows across North America, Asia, and Europe — and a project that funds the next Canadian independent artist with every 200 copies sold.
City of Lost
Angels II
— Sold direct. Singles rolling out on streaming now.
This was never just an album. Every 200 copies sold funds a $1,000 grant for a Canadian independent artist — committee-shortlisted, then chosen by public vote, announced live at a FRMULA workshop.
Buy it once, own it forever, and move the counter.
About City
Luigi Fidelia, known professionally as City Fidelia, is a Canadian rapper, community builder, and entrepreneur from Ottawa, Ontario. He's performed sold-out shows across North America, Asia, and Europe, and earned recognition from artists like Malik Yusef of G.O.O.D Music, Timbaland, and Vic Mensa.
Beyond the music, Fidelia co-founded the Real House of Ensemble in 2020 — a creative hub that has provided work to a large number of BIPOC individuals in the city — and served as program director at CHUO radio.
From the age of nine, Fidelia watched his mother support kids in their community — bailing them out of jail, housing the young and homeless. He credits her for the instinct that runs through everything he builds: when you have a platform, you use it to pull the next person up. The Independent Artist Grant is that instinct, made permanent.
