Dru's CD Release Party @ the Sutton Place Hotel

With a burning hot debut album just released, R&B Artist, Dru, held a private CD release party on October 5th for a group of friends at a swanky suite inside the Sutton Place Hotel, located in downtown Toronto, ON.

Dru's debut CD titled, The One, is a rich blend of smooth, infectious R&B grooves. Singles, "The One," "Seasons" and "Stay With Me (Always)" have already made their way onto radio stations with videos in rotation on channels across the nation.

Formerly of the award-winning R&B group, In Essence, Dru tasted success a few years ago achieving Canadian and stateside popularity with their 2003 debut album, The Master Plan. In 2004, it went on to win a Juno award for Best R&B/Soul Recording of the Year and a Much Music Video Award for Best R&B Video for the single "Friend of Mine."

Toronto-based Dru, (Andrew Grange) has now emerged on to his own path as a bonafide solo artist and writer, co-writing all of the songs on the album. By the sounds of his soulful and edgy debut solo effort, he could certainly be "The One" to breakout as one of Canada's premier R&B Artists.

Check out the video on You Tube for his track, "Stay With Me (Always)" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WiSuItDWPI

DOES ANYONE SEE THE RESEMBLANCE????

Photos by Carol A. Allen

Robert Owens, one of the most influential icons of House Music, made a brief stop at Toronto's Revival venue on October 4, to perform at the Solid Garage Live showcase put on by United Soul.

If Owens' name doesn't ring a bell, you may remember his huge early nineties hits "Tears" and "I'll Be Your Friend," a worldwide number one charttopper.

His latest album, Night Time Stories, was released earlier this year. It's his first release in 10 years, complete with 11 tracks.

The King Sunshine Band entertained audiences in the upper level of Revival while Owens showed off his DJ skills in the lower lounge before his mainstage performance. Albert Assoon, one of the pioneers of the Toronto's dance music scene, also spun some rare groove, electro and house tracks from from the legendary Twilight Zone days, the now-defunct club which he helped to establish.

Robert Owens is currently on tour in Europe and maintains residency in England, where he is an accomplished DJ at various clubs.

Partial proceeds of the event went to support the Children's Aid Foundation.

Canadian Premiere of "What Goes Around” One Night Only Thurs Oct 9 @ Yorkdale Silver City Movie Theatre, Toronto!

The movie “What Goes Around” - directed by Steve ‘Tehut-Nine’ McAlpin, will have its Canadian premiere on October 9, 2008 in Toronto.

Presented by Jaydees Entertainment in association with L3 Publicity, the movie that has been described as a hit - following its US premiere in August, features some of dancehall’s hugest stars: Mavado, Nohard Grant, Flippa Maffia, KC Jockey, Ghost Teflon, Supa Twitch, Ding Dong and Maestro.

With a different take on the old saying, “you reap what you sow,” the movie that was also written by McAlpin, presents the twists and turns of romantic relationships that highlight the proverbial womanizer, absentee father, unfaithful girlfriend and cheating ‘playboy’ lover. Layered with humour, the film takes viewers through the rugged ups and downs of each character. Emotions run rampant as some of the colourful characters deserve sympathy while others stir up anger and trigger suspense.

It is presented against the backdrop of Southern Florida’s Caribbean/American music scene and also features Sakina Samuda, Kim Goss and Alton Ashman.

The movie will be shown for one night only on Thursday October 9th, 2008 at 7pm and 9pm at the Yorkdale Silver City Movie Theatre at 3401 Dufferin Street in Toronto.
