Alternative

Introspective and enthralling, with equal parts grit and grace, Emmet Michael is a musician who was built on his trials. Turning to music in his darkest times, he found solace in his ability to share his heart with others through his lyrics. Drawing on his experience of transitioning from female to male, living with mental illness, and battling addiction, his songs carry a tone of desperation and sorrow. With soulful melodies and heart wrenching lyrics, his music conveys a message that is both powerful and vulnerable. Entirely unique, yet familiar. 

On his ground-breaking debut EP "I Feel Like I Just Woke Up" Emmet invites us in to experience the world with him. Ever reminding us all of our shared desires to love and be loved - just as we are. An ingenious mix of intimate and explosive, tender and wild, this EP will take it's listeners on a journey through the all too real feelings of love and loss. Accompanying the poetic lyrics are layered harmonies, striking guitar solos, melancholic strings and more. There's something in this album for everyone.

Cory Hotline is a cosmic collision of funk, pop, rock and disco; the kind of band you might expect to see at an especially raucous dance party in space. Comprised of some of the best veterans of Toronto's live music scene, Cory Hotline is basically the love child of Joe Cocker and Bobby Womack backed by a "build your perfect space-disco fantasy band" generator - a synthesis of retro nostalgia and future-facing funk with the pop sense of Maroon 5 and Michael Jackson.
