KROY is the solo project of Montreal-based artist Camille Poliquin, who first gained prominence as one half of the duo Milk & Bone. Under the KROY moniker, Poliquin explores a darker, more experimental side of electronic pop.
Her sound identity is defined by a sophisticated use of analog hardware, specifically synthesizers that provide a rich, tactile contrast to her delicate, breathy vocal delivery. Influenced by the Bristol trip-hop scene (Portishead) and the indie-pop sensibilities of the early 2010s, her work occupies a unique space between commercial accessibility and avant-garde texture. Critically, she is noted for her ability to translate deep personal vulnerability into cold, mechanical soundscapes. Her career arc shows a steady refinement of this 'noir-pop' aesthetic, moving from the synth-heavy debut 'SCAVENGER' toward increasingly atmospheric and cinematic compositions. Within the Quebec electronic scene, she is a pivotal figure, bridging the gap between indie-rock circles and the underground electronic community.
