Toronto's nightlife is a reflection of the vast multiculturalism in our city, and there are many different clubs and bars that attract young adults with a variety of music tastes and crowds. A large percentage of this nightlife crowd attends events in the downtown core, often playing top 40 music as well as hip hop, dancehall, reggae, and soca. And, if you are lucky enough to get on the guestlist, you may attend a
City Nights event, which offer a great vibe and great music, all thanks to the coordinators, M.C's, and D.J's associated with this profitable budding event company. The owner and manager, Matthew Oshunrinde, who is better known as Spotty Sohandsome, has owned up to his reputation as the 'Prince of T.O'. With recent jaw-dropping events including
The Royal Flush, at which local celebrities including members of the Toronto Raptors and rising artists
The Weeknd were in attendance. With his determination and business leadership skills, he has established a brand that has already achieved city-wide popularity, soon to be international with the release of his 'Self Made' video, which is in the works as we speak. So if you haven't yet attended a
City Nights event and this sounds like your kind of party, do yourself a favour and get on the guest list because you don't want to miss what could go down in history as the best summer Toronto has ever seen.
I was hired by spotty in April and was immediately thrown into shoots and events, which has been great experience and I have made many connections through him. In this shoot for
The Royal Flush event which took place on April 22nd 2011, I photographed Spotty alongside the beautiful Alana Jung, and I captured the class and sophistication that was the theme for the event. Moet and Goose were among the many bottles popped that night, and I am extremely proud of the audience we gained as a team through these photos.
