Bio

Short Bio – One Eyed Oracle is the resonant expression of singer-songwriter Boris René Buhôt. A Toronto-born, multi-instrumentalist who plays alternatively driven music tied to themes of love and spiritual awareness. After decades backing up bands as the shy introvert on the bass, Boris broke out of his cocoon and jumped to center stage to perform his intuitively channeled, spiritually motivated music. Following his latest musical release, Boris stepped back from the stage to write his profound metaphysical non-fiction book, Waking As Water: The Birth Of Consciousness, before returning to his sonic roots.

Writer, music-critic, DJ, music-director, and famous syndicated musicologist Alan Cross wrote on Global News Canada’s website, calling One Eyed Oracle an “undiscovered gem.” “Interesting stuff from multi-instrumentalist Boris Buhot of Oshawa. This is from his debut indie record, Really Small Town. There’s something that brings me back to the era between Madchester and Britpop. Perhaps if Iggy or Peter Murphy had sung for Blur…”

Long-time Toronto indie music writer The Real Gary 17 says One Eyed Oracle “is a formidable tunesmith whose lyrics, like his somewhat heavy-mooded musical delivery, is direct, visceral and resonant. Alternating between the Grunge Folk vibe and what you might call ‘Stark Rock’, his songs punch through any film of complacency that might be obscuring your vision, presenting boldly and plainly the plight of the modern human.”
