The Remix Project
2 PARDEE, 416-583-2120 theremixproject.ca
The city’s most influential youth-led arts project turns dust to dreams by giving economically challenged young people burning with raw talent but no place to develop it the coaching they need to make it to the marketplace. At its 5,000-square-foot space in Liberty Village, the non-profit Remix mentors applicants in music performance and production, videography, writing, graphic designing, entrepreneurship, photography and more, in six-month stints. Then it sends them out into the artsy world and watches them turn up in interesting places – like in Drake’s entourage, where Remix grad Future the Prince DJs. And speaking of the D man, his producer, Noah Shebib, aka 40, used to run Remix’s recording arts program.
