📣 PERFORMER ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

We are excited to share that Bryn will be back to perform at Fast in the 6! If you missed Bryn performing last year, make sure you catch her this year!

Bryn is a Toronto based artist and songwriter who is unafraid to dive deep into her inner world. Bringing together her signature warmth, poetic lyricism, and pop sensibilities, Bryn walks the line between pain and empowerment as she explores everything from constructed femininity, to hereditary trauma, and heartache.

You won't want to miss this performance! See you this Friday! 🙌 http://www.fastinthe6.com

📣 PERFORMER ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

We have some exciting news to share - Raz Hyder will be performing at Fast in the 6 this year! ✨

Raz Hyder was born and raised in Toronto, of West Indian heritage.

Raz explores Truth, growth, love, pain and hope through a carefully crafted blend of hip-hop and alternative rock dubbed “Stadium Hip-Hop”. His heart-centered music fits just as well in a local cafe as it does on a big stage.

With lyricism and his message as the focus, Raz’s energy and passion has landed him major opening performances for Hasan Minhaj, Brother Ali, Mo Amer, and Mustafa the Poet in recent years.

In January, Raz independently released his latest EP “Midnight Epiphany” now available on all streaming platforms. With his debut album set to release in the Fall, alongside multiple other single and EP releases on the way, 2023 will be the most prolific year of his 12-year career yet.

We can't wait to watch Raz perform during Fast in the 6 and you won't want to miss it!
