Happy Bornday, Masimba! 🖤 You would be 55 today, and you are truly missed. We’re celebrating your life as if you’re still here in the physical—because your spirit lives on through so many of us you touched with your smile, your kindness, and kind heart. You had a great ear and helped create the soundtrack to so many people’s lives.
I’m grateful we met so many years ago and cherish the parties, the conversations, and the lessons. You were patient, a great teacher, and I’ll always be thankful for the DJ lessons - Grandmaster Son of S.O.U.L.
We’re continuing your tradition of celebrating your Earthstrong with THE COOL OUT. If you knew Sims and attended his parties, you already know you would hear —funk, boogie, soul, hip-hop, house, and those super-dope breaks.
This Sunday, I hope you’ll come out, get down, and celebrate one of Toronto’s finest DJs the way he deserves. 💫🎶
