Menno Versteeg
Menno Versteeg, also known as Mav Karlo, is a Canadian musician, best known as the frontman for indie rock group Hollerado. Versteeg received a nomination for Recording Package of the Year at the 2014 Juno Awards for his work on Hollerado's White Paint.
In 2018 Versteeg became a member of the Canadian supergroup Anyway Gang; they released their first album in November of that year. As Mav Karlo, Versteeg released his debut solo album, Reno Tapes, on March 9, 2020.
In 2009 Versteeg co-founded the record label Royal Mountain Records. He received attention for providing a $1,500/band mental health fund from Royal Mountain Records to help bands deal with the stress that can come with touring and performing based on the understanding he gained from his own experiences as he struggled with mental health while on tour. In July 2020, Versteeg auctioned three cassettes, each containing a recording of a cover song. Versteeg matched the highest bidder and the total amount was donated to the Art for Aid Project, a Métis-run organization that supports First Nations, Inuit, and Métis art education programs.
