Theo Tams
Voice, Songwriting, Music Industry
Singer-pianist Theo Tams has taken the road less travelled. While he previously, reluctantly, chased the pop hit, his upcoming EP is sparse, emotive and pure. Like a Sam Smith or Adele, the production — by Montreal’s Gautier Marinof — doesn’t hide the vocal.
Matthew Emery
Piano, Theory, Composition
Matthew Emery (b.1991) is a Canadian composer who “writes with an honesty which enchants” (Vancouver Sun). His music has been performed across North America (Canada, USA), South America (Honduras), Europe (England, Scotland, Germany, Iceland, France, Sweden, Estonia, Russia, Spain, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland), Asia and Oceania (China, New Zealand, South Korea, Australia) and has been heard on national television and radio both in Canada and USA.

Matthew was recently honoured with the prestigious William and Phyllis Waters Graduating Award from the University of Toronto.
Bill Simms
Guitar, Bass
Bill Simms is an artist who can be thought of as a musical chameleon, due to the stylistic breadth of his music. You can see him one night performing jazz standards at a local restaurant and the next night wailing dirty rock and roll songs in a dive bar. The following night he may just as easily be serenading the patrons of a songwriter's circle as spitting mad rhymes at a house party. The fact of the matter is, Bill loves all music that's written with conviction and high quality.
Comila Milla
Guitar
Camila is a Chilean music composer, film music writer, guitarist and educator. She started playing guitar at thirteen years old and performed in various stages in her home country since she was 18.
