Still taking it all in.
What made this year’s @departurefest so special wasn’t just the packed rooms, incredible conversations, performances, or historic moments like Maggie Kang receiving the Key to the City - it was the people behind it all.
So proud of our team and thankful for every artist, speaker, volunteer, partner, crew member, and delegate who helped bring this community to life. A lot of hard work, heart, and belief went into this last week.
Signing off on #Departure2026 full of gratitude and inspiration.❤️
2025 was a year for the books. Grateful for all the memories made & especially thankful for those who made them with me. Ready to run it up in 2026 🏃🏼♂️
A powerful night last week with @charlottedaywilson at @wtoronto bringing the hospitality industry & live music community together. Thank you @torontolife@ontariocreates & all our speakers. 🙏🏻 Grateful for partners who continue to champion music as an engine for innovation & business.

monday night I had the pleasure of attending the Dawson’s Creek Class Reunion in NYC supporting @vanderjames and @letsfcancer . It was an emotional rollercoaster and as a fan of the show kind of a dream come true. @lin_manuel was an incredible stand in for Dawson, the vibes were immaculate. Still buzzing and had to share this for any of the fellow fans on my feed. 😀
was fortunate enough to book the first @machinegunkelly show in 🇨🇦 back in 2011. Last night @horseshoetavern the @umusic folks helped me get the poster signed for my archive (which resulted in a cool story on stage). Watching the artist growth journey is my fav part of this industry. Also shoutout to @jonjonramos for letting me take a chance back then on a tatted rapper from Cleveland with a little buzz. #lostamericana
