ICYMI, Self made artist, Gee has released his long waited EP Avatar and let me tell you guys, this EP is something that should not be slept on. Laced up with 4 tracks with no features representing the 4 element signs, Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
I got a chance to sit down with Gee back in February at Mahjong Bar in Toronto for a few drinks and he told me about the process of the EP as well as his inspiration/influences, etc.
Gee is a recording artist, DJ, producer and member of the famous artist collection group, Trifecta from Ontario. Heavily into the old skool genre which solely inspires him to write, produce and create, Gee uses that to create his own art and keep the momentum of old skool alive. His representation as “Avatar” has heavily influenced his new EP which the different sounds in each track ranging from hiphop to lofi to mellow R&B and Gee is personally a person who always switches his sounds and try new things instead of sticking to one style which I heavily respect.
If you haven’t checked out the EP already, make sure you do! Available on all streaming platforms and make sure you keep up with the artist himself as he always announces events within Toronto and around Canada. On behalf of SWC, we thank Gee as well for sitting down with myself for an interview for his anticipated EP release!
Once again, all EP streaming links will be down below! Let us know what you think of it. - Streetwear Chick

Bio
In the midst of the rising popularity of today’s new sound of Hip Hop, Gee always strives to differ from the norm. In effortless fashion, the Toronto born native of Mississauga manages to create ambient musical soundscapes of different genres, from Hip Hop, to R&B, to House, without compromising his production style to conform to the generic mainstream sound. He takes inspiration from, & has studied the music & careers of the likes of Kanye West, Dr. Dre, J. Dilla, Pharrell, & The RZA, to help perfect his own sound & creativity.
His latest EP “Summerdrive” is the perfect soundtrack for the season. Inspired by summertime drives & the 90s House days of Electric Circus, his fusion of House music elements & notable Hip Hop & R&B samples is an excellent listen for those hot summer days, long drives, & trips to the beach.
Primarily a Music Producer, Gee is an artist in every sense of the word. His other talents as a Recording Artist, Songwriter, Mix Engineer, DJ, & Graphic Designer are some of the many ways he is able to express & outlet his self entirely. Unafraid of musical vulnerability, Gee draws inspiration from life, love, & love lost. Within the 7 instrumental albums he’s released between 2011 & now, Gee has been able to capture memories, emotions, & moments in time without words; his use of melody & vocal samples are his voice of expression & a window into his heart & mind.
Aside from natural talent in these mediums, Gee’s present level of expertise also comes from attending Seneca@York’s “Independent Music Production” program, in which he graduated with honours in 2011, & his acceptance into The Remix Project’s “Recording Arts Academy” in 2012. His latest accolades in 2016 include serving as Musical Director for fashion designer Candace Daniela’s two TOMFW runway shows, & producing music for 2 seasons of FTV’s “Live Breathe Yoga” television show.
“Summerdrive” is now available on Soundcloud, with the download version featuring a bonus track: Gee’s House remix of Drake’s summer hit “One Dance”. Listen to “Summerdrive” here soundcloud.com/geesoropia/sets/summerdrive
