Music – Toronto
Bitter&Broke is a Canadian band and DJ/producer trio based in Toronto, Ontario.
Curating a soundtrack to daily life, they cultivate smooth and soulful sounds that merge
the classic pallet of soul, jazz, blues and funk with the contemporary grooves and feels of
neo-soul, R&B, and hip-hop. Inspired by the likes of the Isley Brothers, Erykah Badu,
Brian McKnight, and Thundercat to MF Doom, J Dilla and The Alchemist; they will hit you
with smooth instrumentals, crispy drums, ethereal vocals, and a sprinkle of international
influences, they will take you on a musical trip around the world.
From humble beginnings at an underground bar in the west end 10 years ago, Yoshi,
Aaron, and new member, Jay, are constantly striving for greater and bigger. They have
headlined RAW Artists for two years in a row at the famous Mod Club, and have
continuously expanded their presence in the city by managing inclusive and
community-focused events to showcase emerging local artists and vendors, as well as
providing musical consultation and coaching for creatives in Toronto and beyond.
With “Bheaties” – a Bitter&Broke produced six track collaborative mixtape featuring six
different local hip-hop assassins – almost complete and scheduled for release in the first
half of 2022, look out for their original live album later this year!
