TorontoX Remix project

So if anyone know's me they know I love two things a whole lot among other things of course, but those things would be music and social justice. (sidenote: This week was amazing and made fun and busy). So Thursday I did a show with ShadK , and if youd didn't know him and his management I do believe with a collective called the Falculty of . And they do a lot of work with other community based movements using art as a medium and primary tool. Well here's one that really caught my eye ... The Remix Project here's a little blurb about them and there video as well.

Remix works to help some of the most gifted but vulnerable young people in the city to realize their own creative and business-minded potential while working to strengthen Toronto, Canada's burgeoning creative industry."
