Here to capture the talent of Toronto's independent urban music artists. From rap/hip hop to spoken word and Rnb to pop, artist in Toronto's music scene will be the topic of this blog. Through the heart and passions of dreams and by the name of Toronto, urban music is brought to you.
Got word from the homie Infu himself about his EPK. I watched it and really wanted to show some support. All I have to say is that Infu is a really down to earth dude and you could tell that he is truly dedicated in what he does. A lot of people don't really appreciate or wont really take into account up and coming artists, but we all know music is a big part of life. From watching Infu's press kit, I can see he's not just about the fame or trying to be like someone else, but that this is what he does regardless of where it gets him. Some people are just born to do certain things, for Infu it's pretty clear that being an artist on the music scene is the destiny he's made for himself. I'm just happy that things are looking good for him and that he's repping Toronto.

Toronto's very own talented emcee Infu gave me the chance to speak with him and it was a very pleasentful conversation. Let me tell you who Infu is and the things he had to say.
Who is Infu?
Infu which comes from my last name
(Infusino) is the product of two years of grinding in the music game. Being
from Toronto was thought to be a disadvantage for a long time in the hip hop
world, but as we near our pinnacle I'm feeling more excited than ever. Although
I'm only 24 years old I feel as if I have an "old man mind" and that
reflects in my music. I focus on lyricism and substance in my music, more of a
classic emcee rather than a trendy rapper. I've seen both sides of the coin in
such a short time; being a Canadian rapper is judged upon enough, imagine
being a white - Canadian rapper. The whole racial thing exists but at the end
of the day people respect and appreciate talent, so if you bring it no matter
what your complexion is, people will feel you. Now that I've had some
successful mix tapes and sold out a few shows I feel we’re beginning to
generate a buzz which is only expanding.
Are there any projects you are
currently working on?
Right now I'm currently working on
new music daily with my cousin and Producer/Engineer Zanets. We're in the
studio everyday just banking tracks trying to find the wave for the next
project. We know where we want to go with it, we just need to decide how we
want to get there.
As far as performances I'm actually
hosting Tattoo Rock Parlour on Thursday April 5th (Tomorrow). Right after that
show I'm off to New York on April 10 with Zanets to take care of some business,
I can't really get into it, but I will say its music related. I'll be doing a
meet and greet in NY as well. Later on in the summer I'll also be opening up
for Kid Ink on June 24 at The Opera House. I’m sure a couple more; regardless
you'll be hearing a lot from me.
What success have you seen on
previous works and projects?
My first release was called Swine Fu
and was dropped in 2010. It was a sold out jam and a lot of big people came out
to support the movement. My second mixtape in 2011 called Big Fuzie did much of
the same. Another sold out release party and heavily played mixtape release.
Features on the tapes include: Saukrates, Rich Kidd, Mayhem Morearty, Jonny
Roxx, etc... many of which I have gotten to perform with. I've also had guests
like Page and P Reign at my mixtape release parties and gotten to connect with
some heavy people in the industry through shows and events. (Redman, French
Montana, Cory Gunz, etc.)
What is your main goal as an up and
coming artist here in Toronto? What am I looking for?
I'm always looking to move forward
in my career and progress as an artist but I make sure to always stick to my
goal and create good music. Whether that lands me a record deal or in a liquor
store parking lot, I just want to make good music. I've worked with the
majority of the artists I want to work with in Toronto, but I want to move
forward and branch beyond our border. Who knows bruh? That's a good
question... I just want distribution support, I mean we make our own music, have
our own studio, in-house beats, engineer, video, we just need distribution and
marketing. Whoever can facilitate that... I'm willing to at least talk to.
