Vinyl Woman
Chic to Vinyl
Uliana Musikhina is a huge inspiration and is a perfect example of what it is to be a powerful, creative yet humble woman in a scene designed for boys. The perfect blend of creativity, adventure and intellect, she continues to shape the scene.
She is a big part of why Critical Zero exists, and she will be a big part of why many women out there will help shape the face of music and design. Her page features the latest releases on vinyl, show reviews, interviews and more.
Joe Hat
Flavour of Toronto
If anyone has truly left their mark and helped shaped the image of the future of the Toronto Music Scene its Joe Zambri. His skills have been honed since 2010 and takes inspiration from a large number of sources: album art, film, graffiti, punk rock music, pop-art and German expressionist paintings.
From working on projects with upcoming bands such as Queens and Kings, Black Budget, Wednesday Bender, By Octopi and more. His artwork can be found everywhere and has become the identity of our music scene post pandemic.

Saving the scene..
Save Toronto Music Venues, is an extra special organization that formed in the peak of darkness.
A saviour to local musicians and venues alike in the Toronto Music scene which had already been riddled with challenges in a city that values condos and corporate greed over the hubs of culture and art that venues bring.
Toronto is synonymous for skyrocketing prices due to gentrification, musicians and venues have taking a major hit in this city.
This organization raises money to help support local bands, and venues through selling merch, photos and throwing events.
