ABOUT CONDUCT BECOMING

Formed in 2001, Conduct Becoming began as a project dedicated to the memory of Jason Abraham, a Mount Allison student and a victim to cancer. Conduct Becoming has since grown to reach out to emerging artists as a platform for artist development while still holding true as a supporter of Canadian cancer research. The project has helped launch the careers of many local East Coast musical talents including Mike Allison, In-Flight Safety, Jon Epworth, Meaghan Blanchard, Allison Lickley, and the Grass Mountain Hobos.
