Introducing our April 2023, special edition JUNOS Issue, cover stars @simuliu, @kardinalo and @haviahmighty. ✨ — Highlighting artist wins, challenges, diversity and representation at @thejunoawards 2023, with words by @erinnicoledavis. - On March 13, Edmonton, Alberta became a hotbed for Canadian talent, with some of the biggest names in the country’s music scene in town for the 52nd annual JUNO Awards. This meant famous faces like Avril Lavigne, Nickelback, Jessie Reyez, Kardinal Offishall, and Haviah Mighty – just to name a few – who united for a high-energy affair hosted by renowned Shang Chi actor Simu Liu (AKA one of Canada’s current biggest bragging rights). The VIBE was an uplifting and inspiring one; it was the JUNOS had been on the road since 2019, and we got to tag along for the ride and produce their exclusive portrait studio. - Shot by none other than #Toronto celebrity photographer, @merzetti; and produced, designed and directed by our very own, @mr.stevenbranco.

“10s across the board.” 👏🏾 @beyonce claimed she’d shut the city [of Toronto] down, and she quite literally DID. SWIPE to the end for a bird’s-eye-view of the gridlock traffic in downtown Toronto Saturday night after the concert let out. — It goes without saying that she kicked off her North American leg of her #renaissanceworldtour with a bang. Two back to back evenings this weekend, of what many are saying was one of the most iconic concerts in HISTORY. And our team couldn’t agree more. From the iconic looks, including a custom @tiffanyandco @elsaperetti.official Mesh dress where she was literally draped in diamonds, twinkling from every direction. To her jaw dropping performance, both the choreo to the vocals, it was all flawless. The production value just took it all to another stratosphere. 👏🏾 Blown away! So much so, that many were doing anything they could to get a second pair of tickets for the second show earlier tonight. Next up, the official afterparty at @rebeltoronto. ✨ — Although Blue Ivy didn’t make an appareanfe at this stop, JAY-Z was definitely in the building to support (swipe to second last shot for a closer look). — But the crowd didn’t disappoint either! Everyone showed up and showed out, from the looks to the singing along—even recognized by Queen Bey herself! TAG us in your photos to be shared. 📸 @beyonce, unless otherwise tagged accordingly. ____ #TorontoVIBES #TorontoConcerts #TorontoEvents
