DJ, producer and songwriter; the multi-award-winning artist DJ Agile has been one of Canada’s most sought-after DJs since 1999. With his eclectic mix of Hip-Hop, Soul, Afrobeats, House, Rock, Pop and Nu Soul, Agile is a staple in Toronto’s diverse music scene. He’s DJ’d for the Toronto Maple Leaf’s “Rivalry Series” two years in a row, and even taken part in residences with DJ parties including The Main Ingredient, Nostalgia and All Vinyl Everything.
With his diverse background and commitment to raising Canada’s profile in the music world, it’s no wonder why Agile was appointed Chair of the jury for the inaugural Black Canadian Music Awards this Fall. A partnership between SiriusXM Canada the SOCAN Foundation, the awards will recognize and celebrate Canadian Black music creators across all genres. Alongside Agile will be a jury and advisory council of prominent Black artist and industry leaders from across Canada.
