TASHA ROZEZ/GUNZ N ROZEZ:
The WUN Magazine 2010 Selector of the Year, original/undefeated (2002) World Female Sound Clash Champion and five-time consecutive Marc Ecko/Stylus Female DJ of The Year nominee, Tasha Rozez is also one of the most traveled and sought after DJs out of Canada. Numerous tours through Asia, the United States, Caribbean and Europe have translated into features on MTV Europe, Canada’s equivalent, Much Music, and features in Fader Magazine (USA), NOW Toronto (cover story), Sway Magazine, Montreal Mirror (with Ghislain Poirier) and Riddim Magazine (Germany). In addition to bragging rights like these, Tasha’s recordings with Kardinal Offishall (“Bad Like We Bad”) and Wio K (“Foot Loose”) back up her warrior’s mentality and feminine mystique with original on-stage talent and style.

MELODIC:

His unique style of blending classic reggae, modern dancehall & hip hop music is an essential part of what he represents as a person and an artist. Sit back and relax, take a deep breath of fresh air and witness the manifestation of an undeniably original vocalist in times saturated with copycats and clones.
