As part of our research partnership with MMI (Mapping Music Industries), we collaborated with community orgs to mentor small cohorts of their youth to run their own open mic.

The first organization we partnered with was Community Music Schools of Toronto. A registered charity that gives children and youth access to a rich and rewarding music and social education.

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Daniels Spectrum on Wednesday, June 3rd for the Hummingbird Open Mic!

From the brilliant performers to everyone who cheered, clapped, and shared the space with us, you made the energy absolutely welcoming.

We want to shoutout our incredible house band for backing our performers so flawlessly, Kuné with their unique and diverse sound, Community Music Schools of Toronto for making events like this possible and our mutual aid, Native Women’s Resource Centre.
