Local artists bring diversity to Canadian Music Fest


The McKee Agency hosted its third annual showcase during the 30th annual Canadian Music Week Festival on the third floor of Faces Nightclub on Saturday, March 24. Featured artists ranged from Peter Jackson and Raz Fresco to Queen of Hearts. McKee, a booking agency founded by Chris McKee which represents North American hip-hop, R&B and pop artists, delivered the audience an energy–filled, genre-blending event.
Special guests R&B artists Rufus and Tuzzy both performed with sweet, soulful vocals, while the triple threat group Queen of Hearts charmed the audience with its pop melodies, dance and beauty. Raz Fresco added his hip-hop flare to the mix as he grabbed the microphone, ready to shut the place down. He commanded the attention of the venue and brought along Bakers Club brothers, The 6th Letter, Chill Will and Prime rapper Buck Rogers to perform new material off his upcoming mixtape Cakey Pocket$.
Peter Jackson and dancehall artist Trinity Chris closed off the show allowing attendees to dance, with their upbeat energetic sets and powerful voices, which boomed through the nightclub. The McKee Agency showcase was an opportunity to celebrate Toronto music, and succeeded by bringing together talented artists of various genres.
