Toronto has always been a hub for creativity, and at the heart of the city’s underground scene stands QuotedTO, a platform built by two visionaries, Jay and Mike. Before launching QuotedTO, the duo had already made a name for themselves in Toronto’s creative community. Their shared passion for photography and music quickly evolved into Quoted Toronto Underground, a movement that spotlighted emerging talent while hosting countless rap events across the city.
With their roots firmly planted in the culture, QuotedTO has become more than just a platform—it’s a gathering space for artists, creators, and fans who crave authentic experiences. Jay and Mike’s mission has always been clear: give underground talent the same shine and respect as mainstream acts while documenting the culture through their lens.
That vision continues this month as QuotedTO gears up to host an exciting showcase on August 29th, bringing together some of the city’s most promising acts. The lineup features Yurms, Kay Nives, and the ever-stylish Fashion cool kid Ethan Cordner. Each artist represents a different flavor of Toronto’s diverse underground sound, making this event one to remember.
QuotedTO’s shows have always carried a raw, unfiltered energy—part celebration, part community. For Jay and Mike, it’s about more than putting on performances; it’s about curating moments that reflect the city’s heartbeat and pushing forward a culture that thrives on creativity and collaboration.
As Toronto continues to influence the global music landscape, platforms like QuotedTO remain vital in nurturing the next wave of talent. Their August 29th event is not just another show—it’s proof that Toronto’s underground scene is alive, evolving, and ready to take center stage.
