Prhizzm
Canadian electronic musician
Prhizzm (real name Brendan Dellandrea) is a Canadian solo electronic music artist based in Toronto.
Dellandrea has been involved in the creation of electronic music since 2001. However, he has played the piano since the age of 13 and the violin since age 4. His first foray into published electronic music was the self-released Small Comfort EP in 2003. Next came the mp3-release Fragment Synthesis at Hippocamp.net. That release was removed from the site due to label interest and is no longer available, although four of the five tracks in this release have re-appeared on subsequent CD releases. Dellandrea's big break finally came when he was signed to Scotland's Benbecula Records and released a self-titled EP in March 2005. The Prhizzm EP was followed a year later by a full-length CD-R release within Benbecula's Mineral Series featuring "oddities and new tracks". The now-defunct Prhizzm website described the release as a collection of "early ambient tracks, EP b-sides, vocal tracks, and a sneak peek of the forthcoming prhizzm album".
In January 2007, Dellandrea accompanied local friend and musician Minisystem on keyboards for his debut record release party performance.

Why this record matters
“Prhizzm” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Prhizzm, Canadian and electronic provides the most credible route into that argument.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 28, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7242503. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
