    Harvey Stripes ft. Captain Hooks “Must Be The Money”


    I love opening my email and getting some new music from up and coming Canadian talent. I have always loved music, and to hear such talented Canadian artists, it’s an inspiration. Here is a new artist by the name of Harvey Stripes. He is truly an inspiration and treats everything with a confidence, not arrogance, and with an honest and real perspective with himself and his fans.

    The sky is truly the limit for Harvey Stripes.

    Up and Coming Toronto Talent

    Jeffrey “Vargas” Vallejo is a Toronto-born beat maker, rapper, engineer, and producer.  Vargas graduated from Recording Arts Canada on a government grant helping him gain new skills and crucial studio experience. Vargas brings versatility that can be heard in his musical creations often allowing for an eclectic mix of genres and styles allowing him to relate to people of all cultures and backgrounds. 

    Vargas being his grandmother’s maiden name serves as a symbol of gender equality and for him a reminder of the less fortunate struggling classes of the world. Upon completing the Recording Arts Program, Vargas put his new skills to work in the community working with Literacy Through Hip Hop, The Parkdale Street Writers, and the Parkdale Tenants Association. Vargas is closely associated with the Parkdale Tenants Association, where he has put on events and has performed in the streets in protest of local slumlords gaining the attention of CBC’s live to air radio show, Big City Small World.  Vargas currently works as a recording and mixing engineer at the Christie- Ossington Neighbourhood Centre (L.O.F.T.).  

    Check out his debut video… The True Sun Of Man- Vargas it is really good and on repeat.

    In an ABSOLUT world opportunities always pop up!

    I am SOOOOOO EXCITED! Tomorrow I will be attending the Media Sneak Preview of the ABSOLUT Art Installation event, where I will be interviewing successful Canadian Artist, Justin Broadbent!


    Justin Broadbent, a successful graphic designer, web designer, illustrator, and photographer has been commissioned by ABSOLUT vodka to transform the lower BAY subway station (An unused TTC line that was built in 1970s), to his vision of what an ABSOLUT world where opportunities always pop up might look like. His mission is to bring the phrase, “In an ABSOLUT world opportunities always pop up.” to life!

    Justin was one of the feature artists at this year’s AGO MASSIVE Party. His recent accomplishments include; a CBC Bucky Award, two 2009 Much Music Video Award nominations, and the branding and web design for the Oscar-nominated animated short film, I Met The Walrus.

    His portfolio consists of magnificent posters, flash website, amazing photographs and CD designs.

    So Cool
