It's hard to believe that it's been a year since the launch of Emerge Artist Showcase in Toronto! I remember when I first received an email announcing the launch of the showcase and being proud that the independent artist community was working together to showcase the amazing multi genre vocalists the city had; now we're looking at a year!
Mark your calendars for Thursday, November 21 inside Revival Bar.
Featuring some new artists, and giving you a recap of what
this year was all about, Emerge will also be hosting a POP UP Kitchen featuring
chefs Anthony Mair and Torrie Wilson so come hungry and leave soulfully
full. It's been an incredible year showcasing many of the top
upcoming talent in every genre of music and the momentum has gained
tremendous response from the community with EMERGE hosting the Redpath Waterfront Festival for 4 days and TIFF for 7 days and Nathan Phillips Square
this sumer in addition to the many monthly showcases and open mic
events we have produced. Continuing their effort to
promote Canadian talent, Emerge is thankful for all the support.
Big up Cindy Wilson and Ron Allen who are the Emerge Artists Showcase Organizers!
Veronica Domingues
Growing up in the west side of Toronto, Portuguese-Canadian artist Veronica Domingues always had a passion for music. At the age of 4 she was already singing to her family, but as she grew older, so too would her interest in music. While attending high school she was a member of the choir for 3 years. She performed in shows at her school, but really wanted to accomplish more than what she was already doing.
In 2010, Veronica Domingues was discovered by Jay L.A. Management and began her journey into becoming the soulful songstress she is today. During the year of 2011 Veronica decided it was time to start working on her own independent project. She decided to team up with producer Junia-T and Director/Filmmaker Customatic. “Just Chill”, was released on May 10th, 2013.
After releasing the video for her second track “Keep On” featuring Bubba, Veronica received local as well as international recognition on SingersRoom, a prominent American website. While the applause keeps coming in for “Just Chill”, Veronica has already set out to work on her next project (title and date TBA) and is looking forward to an exciting and busy 2013. “Just Chill” is now available on iTunes and Bandcamp.

PJ "Kingpin" Wilson
If you’re looking for old-time soul, PJ Kingpin Wilson is your man. Born and raised in the city of Barrie, PJ fell in love with the old sounds of Motown as a young boy. “My parents always played Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye in the house. It’s an era I revisit all the time when it comes to my music.” Inspired by his own father singing at church, PJ enrolled in vocal lessons and began his quest for music.
In high school, he experimented with different sounds. Working with local rap groups, to school choirs and bands, PJ was determined to have his silky smooth voice heard. In 2011, a chance meeting with Juno award-winning producer Chris Perry, led to a series of recording sessions that brought to life his first three-track E.P. entitled “Preface”. The year after, PJ would continue to write and record but mostly spent the time developing his songwriting skills. “When I write, it’s usually about love and relationships. I’m a very positive spirit and it’s important that I illustrate that in my songs and in the way that I perform.” Always striving for more, he would drive into Toronto every week to perform in the open-mic circuit in order to fine-tune his sound.
“Ultimately, I want my music to make audiences feel inner happiness. When they hear it, they are inspired to feel something and they know they are not alone in their situation. I want to be relatable as an artist.” Embarking on an infectious musical journey where a revived sound of Motown and R&B will come alive, PJ Wilson is all smiles as he continues to draw in audiences with his soulful, never-ending, timeless tunes.
