After weeks of speculation, Massoud, a Ryerson graduate, has been announced as the casting choice for Aladdin in Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of the 1992 classic. | The Egypt-born, Markham-raised and Toronto-based actor has racked up a long list of acting credits including roles on Teen Nick’s Open Heart, CTV’s Saving Hope and Amazon’s about-to-be-released series Jack Ryan. Massoud says that landing this role has left him feeling ‘honored and grateful.'”

Show Spotlight: Elliot Moss returns to Toronto with new music and new show – June 28, 2017

Sample: “The dictionary definition of a boomerang states that it is a curved flat piece of wood that can be thrown so as to return to the thrower. A similar definition could be attributed to Elliot Moss’ music. From start to finish, whether it is on a single song or full EP, Moss takes his listeners on a journey. … But just like a boomerang, the stories come full circle and remain Moss’ own, and does he ever tell them well.”

Review: LANY was more than ‘kinda’ awesome in Toronto – November 8, 2016

Sample: “On top of playing the entire ‘kinda’ EP, LANY played songs off their 2015 EPs ‘I Loved You.’ and ‘Make Out,’ including fan favourites ‘Walk Away’ and ‘ILYSB (I Love You So Bad).’ Each song was elevated with a different stage visual that represented the lyrics of the song, such as a video of rain falling outside a window for the upbeat love song ‘Dumb Stuff.’ The guys’ natural stage presence, Klein’s captivating vocals and their eye-catching visuals worked together to create a set that was much more than ‘kinda’ awesome.”

—

Review: Jon Bellion returns to Toronto bigger and better than ever – October 29, 2016

Sample: “On October 24, American singer/songwriter/rapper Jon Bellion’s single, “All Time Low,” cracked the top 20 at American pop radio. The next day, the song entered the list of the top 20 most Shazamed songs in the United States. Then, just a few days later on October 27, Bellion played a sold out show at Toronto’s The Phoenix Concert Theatre for over 1,000 screaming fans. Not a bad week for the rapidly rising star!”

Ryerson’s 6 Fest sets the stage for more – October 11, 2016

Sample: “Fortunately, despite Ryerson’s strong connection to and love for the 6 God himself, 6 Fest did not suffer as a result. Torontonians would be hard pressed to find another festival offering such names on a ticket under $150. Perhaps, just maybe, Drake wanted to be the good guy and give his friends the chance to shine in the spotlight this time. They surely did.”

Toronto’s TIME Festival clocks a victory – August 8, 2016

Sample: “As the clock approached the evening hours, the festival’s top-billers took to the stage and gave everyone their money’s worth. Jonas Rathsman, a Swedish electronic producer, took over the OverTIME stage and everyone’s hearts, dropping a full hour of nonstop dance floor bangers with smooth transitions that kept people bopping. On the TIME stage, English indie rock band Everything Everything put on the show of a lifetime for their dedicated fans, including a young girl named Kamilla who held up a drawing for the guys and got to meet them backstage after their set.”

EXCLUSIVE: Electronic producer Pusher on his “Clear” path to success – June 27, 2016

Sample: “In recent years, Toronto has become a hub for awesome music in the electronic and dance music scenes with artists like deadmau5, Rezz and ZEDS DEAD making a name for themselves internationally. That’s why it’s no surprise that Pusher, an up-and-coming electronic producer with a fresh and unique sound, hails from Toronto and is already making us so proud. His new single “Clear,” featuring rising American singer Mothica, has been dubbed by many as the underground pop hit of the summer, and his remix of “Lean On” by Major Lazer and DJ Snake featuring MØ just surpassed one million plays on Hype Machine. Excuse our pun(s,) but it’s clear that Pusher just keeps pushing himself to the top – and deservedly so!”
