Toronto Guardian Monthly Spotify Playlist – November, 2021

Each month, we also make a Spotify playlist with songs from the musical acts featured the previous month to share our featured artists beyond the single post on each.

These playlists feature one song from each of the musicians we featured the previous month in a Spotify playlist that is then shared with our readers via this website. If you can follow these artists and share their music, I am sure they would appreciate it.

For our seventh edition, we have 8 songs to share from the month of November, 2021.

Enjoy!

The post “Five Minutes With” Toronto hip-hop singer, KALAN appeared first on Toronto Guardian.

]]> KALAN is on fire. His song Can’t Tell Me was recently selected and now playing on the game Fortnite. He continues to be approached for numerous radio and media interviews including a recent interview he did on YTV The Zone for his new song Zoom. KALAN is a 15-year-old rapper from Toronto that started his career in music as a hip-hop dancer who turned his love of dance and music into songwriting with an EP released at 14 years old and each new single taking him to higher success. Hook-centric lyrics, fast rapping, exceptional hip-hop dance skills make him a triple threat.

Kalan believes that music evolves and artists don’t have to stay in the same lane “when I started writing I thought that music had to have a meaningful message but I realize now that music can be anything, it can have a message or it can be more about the energy like “CHOSEN” or can just be about fun and lifestyle “ZOOM”. Kalan has a number of upcoming live shows and he says “that’s where I feel I belong”. Expect a lot from this kid.
