Mod Sun Live in Toronto

Mod Sun, also known as Derek Ryan Smith, is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, and multi-instrumentalist who was born in Minnesota on March 10, 1987. Covering the genres of Hip-hop, Punk, and Post-Hardcore, Mod Sun had made a name for himself in the global Hip-hop scene with commercially successful studio albums, EPs, and mixtapes.

Starting his career in 2004, the virtuoso artist can play multiple instruments, including the guitar, piano, and drums, apart from delivering powerful vocals with a yelling and screeching effect.

Mod Sun began his musical journey as a drummer in pop-punk and post-hardcore bands like the Semester, Four Letter Lie, and Scary Kids Scaring Kids, respectively. He started his rap career in 2009.

Mod Sun has become a very popular artist in the North American Neo-Hip-Hop scene, having released his fourth studio album in 2021. His fifth studio album is due to be released sometime later this year.

The artist is making his way to Toronto for a sensational live gig, and we can’t wait for enough for an absolute banger of a performance.

Mod Sun Live in Toronto

After a scintillating performance last year with his rumored beau Avril Lavigne at the Coca-Cola Coliseum in 2022, Mod Sun is making his way to the Phoenix Concert Theater in Toronto on May 10 for a live show. Expect nothing less than an electrifying atmosphere and a full house, as the tickets are already on the brink of being sold out.

After extensively touring the United States in cities like Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland, the Hip-hop sensation will arrive to rock Toronto off its socks on March 10, Friday. The concert begins at 6:30 PM, with Mod Sun being the headliner.

Mod Sun is extensively touring across North America as part of his ‘God Save The Teen’ tour. The show will also feature performances by Stand Atlantic and Tom the Mail Man before Mod Sun himself takes the stage.

The live gig is due on March 10, 2023. Doors open at 6:30 PM. People of all ages are welcome for the show with no age restrictions on the main floor. However, to access the balcony and boxes, attendees have to be 19+ years and need to show their ID proof.

Across multiple online websites, the show is sure to be house-full as the tickets are already sold out. So before the concert comes to Toronto’s shores, let’s take a look at the life, career, and hits of Mod Sun.

Early Life: The Making of a Star

Born on March 10, 1987, as Derek Ryan Smith, Mod Sun had a somewhat troubled upbringing as his parents divorced soon after. He spent his early childhood relocating between his mother and father, the latter of whom resided in Long Beach, California. It was here that Derek would start his musical journey, with his influence first coming from the Sublime drummer Bud Gaugh, who lived next door to his father.

As he reached his teen years, Derek soon began familiarizing himself with the local pop-punk scene. During this time, he started making a name for himself, attending various concerts and inviting the touring band members to stay at his home.

However, young Derek wouldn’t stop here as he soon began designing merchandise for bands in eighth grade, as the local pop-punk bands got inspired by emo bands from New Jersey and adopted fashion as part of their performances.

Career: The Journey to Stardom

The Early Years

Derek’s first act was with the local pop-punk sensation Semester, where he performed as a drummer for four years until his graduation.

He continued his journey with a shift in style, joining the post-hardcore band Four Letter Lie in 2005. He would go on to spend another four years with the band before finally quitting to pursue his solo career in Hip-hop.

During this time, the group recorded three studio albums in 2006, 2008, and 2009 and three EPs. The first album, titled ‘Let Your Body Take Over,’ saw local success with regional sales and got mixed reviews from the experts. After touring throughout the length of 2007, the group recorded their second album with Victory Records.

Their second album, ‘What a Terrible Thing To Say,’ peaked at Number 31 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. The album consisted of 10 songs, with Derek Smith, who was responsible for songwriting, along with fellow band member Kevin Skaff. In the following months, the band toured extensively and shared the stage with prominent artists like Dance Having Dance, Memphis May Fire, A Skylit Drive, and Sleeper.

After the band released its third album, Derek left the band and switched genres once again in pursuit of his solo career. In 2009, he joined the hardcore emo band Scary Kids Scaring Kids as a drum tech and soon found himself as the leading drummer of the group. He accepted the role under the condition that the band would let him perform as a solo artist as well.

Solo Career

As a solo Hip-Hop artist, Derek first saw success with his debut album as Mod Sun titled ‘Look Up.’ Released in 2015, it topped the Billboard Heatseekers Chart at Number 1. Now venturing out as a solo artist, Mod Sun started acquiring a name for himself with a poppy music style referred to as ‘hippy hop.’

Look Up turned out to be a breakthrough song for Mod Sun, who has never looked back since. He released two more albums, ‘Movie’ and ‘BB,’ both in 2017. The movie went on to peak at Number 16 on Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart.

Present Career

Derek announced that he was working on his fourth studio album and started releasing singles throughout 2020. Being a popular name in the Hip-hop scene and the music industry as a whole, this album was titled ‘Internet Killed the Rockstar’ and oversaw Derek collaborating with famous artists.

The lead single of the album, Karma, was released in November. Machine Gun Kelly directed the music video. He further went on to release ‘Flames’ in January 2021, which saw a collaboration with Canadian Pop-Punk sensation Avril Lavigne.

In November 2022, Mod Sun declared that his fifth studio album, ‘God Save the Teen’ would be released in 2023, though an exact date is yet to be announced.

Apart from this, he also co-wrote every song in Avril Lavigne’s album Love Sux, with whom he would get engaged two months later.

Catch Mod Sun Live at the Phoenix Concert Theatre

Don’t miss the epic performance due on March 10 by Mod Sun at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto. The concert will be a part of his ‘God Save the Teen’ tour, which will see him performing across major cities in North America.

Men Without Hats Music Festival 2023

The new wave/Synthpop band Men Without Hats are back in Stouffville, ON, at the Wintersong Music Festival 2023. The fourth edition of the festival, which will take place from January 20-21, announced their headlining acts for this year.

The festival features headlining acts by two-time Juno award winner Dan Mangan, along with the local sensation Men Without Hats. They will be joined by another local Indie Pop band, Man Made Forest, and a collaboration between Daniel Monkman and Adam Sturgeon named OMBIIGIZI.

Let’s take a closer look at the Montreal-based artists’ Men Without Hats and more about the Wintersong Festival, which returns to Stouffville in Ontario.

 

Men Without Hats

Having released eight albums to date, Men Without Hats is a Canadian New Wave and synthpop band which originated in Montreal, Quebec. Originally a punk rock band that formed in 1977, Men Without Hats are accomplished Canadian musicians who have a signature synth-based sound accompanied by the baritone voice of its vocalist cum founder, Ivan Doroschuk.

They achieved international fame with their 1980s album Rhythm of Youth which featured the track ‘The Safety Dance.’ This single peaked as the 11th highest-selling single in 1983, having spent four weeks on the Billboard Top 100. Subsequently, their 1987 album ‘Pop Goes the World’ enjoyed the same level of success, having featured in multiple charts across the US and Europe.

Men Without Hats have received several honors for their unique music style, including the Juno Award for Breakthrough Group of the Year in 1984 and two Juno awards for the best singles of the year. The group reached its height with the Grammy Award for Best New Artist that same year.

The group has been reformed three times and has gone on to release eight studio albums along with a number of EPs. Since 2010, the beloved Canadian group has been actively touring across Europe and North America with live shows of their new album ‘Love in the Age of War.’ Recently in 2022, the group released its 8th studio album, Again, Part 2, which has been performed live extensively by the band since its release.

 The Wintersong Music Festival

The Wintersong Music Festival is a live music and cultural event that will include live music, dining, shopping, and other attractions for people of all ages. The free-to-attend music festival brings 100+ artists to Stouffville who will be performing at 15 venues including cafes, bars, theaters, and other public spaces.

The festival takes place annually and is a free-to-attend event, drawing a boisterous crowd of over 5,000 people from all over the York region. Wintersong has offered its live spectacle with an eclectic blend of local and international artists who perform at multiple venues across Stouffville.

The unique model of the festival ensures quality entertainment for every age group without charging a single dollar while supporting local businesses like pubs and cafes where live shows will take place.

The lineup of the Wintersong Festival 2023

The music festival brings a whole lot of dynamism with some of the top Canadian and international artists who’ll be performing headlining acts. From indie-pop sensation Stars to the iconic Grammy award winners Men Without Hats, many top artists will take the headlining stage at the Spring Lakes Golf Club over the two-day event. Other headliners include the Juno recipient singer-songwriter Dan Mangan and the critically acclaimed indie rock group OMBIIGIZI.

These headlining acts will be supported by the lo-fi icons Kiwi Jr, along with the reunion of the grunge band Mrs. Torrance. Another buzzing live performance will be delivered by JJ and the Pillars. The festival also goes big on local names including Man Made Forest, Evan Farell, Hungry Lake, The Muffin Men, and a century of other artists during the weekend.

Men Without Hats at the Wintersong Festival 2023

Celebrating their synthpop masterpiece and skillful use of their songwriting with their latest album Again 2, Men Without Hats, will take the stage at the Spring Lakes Golf Club on January 21 from 4:00 PM. The album is a tribute to their 80s sound with the innovative music techniques of today.

Attendees can also enjoy an exclusive pre-party at the Spring Lakes Wintersong Lounge, where they can get in the vibe of the festival and the amazing lineup of performances.

 Things to do at the Wintersong Music Festival 2023

What to Wear to a 90s Party

Remember the days of the old walkman, the era of grunge and supermodels walking on the ramp in bold outfits? Yes, we’re talking about the 90s.

To some of us, the 90s may seem like yesterday, as the world connected over different mediums, television became a thing, radio found its maximum fanbase, and the internet was just an idea in its nascent stage. To others, however, the 90s is the long-gone vintage era of baggy jeans and bomber jackets.

Regardless of how you view the 90s, if you’re invited to a 90s-themed party, you need to embrace those good old days. It’s the perfect way to embrace retro vibes and get nostalgic.

So if your wardrobe isn’t attuned to suit for a 90s-themed party, don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. Check out this outfit inspiration list of dapper outfits that totally give that 90s vibe.

Style Guide to a 90s-Themed Party

Leather Jackets

Leather jackets are so 90s that we all have an image of bikers and rockers donning iconic pieces during the era. But leather jackets are also timeless. They can not look good. The best thing about leather jackets is that you don’t really need to match them with specific attires. You can easily customize it with a graphic tee and jeans, complete with boots or otherwise, for amping up your street style.

Denim

Denims were all the rage back in those days. It was the perfect fashion symbol for being badass and a sure way of getting those heads to turn your way at a 90s-themed party. Blue denim jackets have always been the class, but no one told you you couldn’t wear black ones to distinguish yourself from the crowd. You can also go chic with a denim jacket with patches styled with a T-shirt and jeans.

Graphic Tees

Popularized by music bands across the western world, graphic Tees were the ultimate symbol for crude yet impressive personality statements. These graphic Tees are available for both men and women and can be tucked in or out, depending on how you want them to be. You can still find a surfeit of graphic printed tees of famous 90s bands like Nirvana, Metallica, Radiohead, and more, along with their creative album covers that instantly ring a bell with the 90s generations.

Straight Fit Jeans

It’s no exaggeration to claim that straight-fit jeans dominated the global fashion market for almost a decade until they were replaced by the slim-fit jeans that are in the trends today. But the 90s were a glorious era for jeans as well; you have the straight fit, which was soon replaced by the bootcut fit. The latter was quickly out of the league with the intro of baggy, oversized jeans during the last few years of the decade. Looks like you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to donning jeans.

Leather Pants

From the swashbuckling artists KISS to the hard-hitting metal giants Metallica, leather pants were all the rage in an era that was defined by jingoism and ‘on your face’ street styles. Nonetheless, we love leather pants when paired with the right outfit and accessories. The first thing that comes to mind is definitely the combo of leather pants and leather jackets over a sleeveless tee (as worn by countless stage artists and Hollywood stars back in the 90s), but there are more options at your disposal here.

You can wear leather pants over a button-down shirt or denim shirt, or take it a notch higher with a long blazer or coat with a T-shirt inside. The plus side of leather pants is that you get to wear ankle boots, which are surely going to complement almost any outfit accompanied by leather pants.

Turtleneck Sweaters

From the legendary musician Elvis to swagger king Mick Jagger to Princess Diana herself, the 90s turtleneck sweaters were all the rage among iconic celebrities around the globe. The turtleneck sweater caused a fashion revolution, as it gave you the option to don it with almost anything. Be it a blazer jacket, leather jacket, or even those Havana-style printed shirts, these turtleneck sweaters have really been made timeless, thanks to scores of celebrities who reverberated their fashion sense in these outfits.

Cargo Pants

Rarely do we see the combination of a unique fashion sense along with the perks of high utility. But those loose-fitting, six-pocket cargo pants offered the best of both worlds. Not only did they almost replace jeans at one point in time with their casual style statement, but they were also great for carrying all your walkman, wallet, and other belongings at once. Cargo pants also offered versatility as they could be paired with tees, shirts, jackets, you name it.

Collared Mini Dress

This one’s for the eves of the party. A collared mini dress will be a welcome change in this era where people tend to overdo their outfits. You can wear a headband with knee-length stockings or boots for the complete 90s schoolgirl look.

Cardigans

Cardigans have been the most sustainable attire that popped up during the 90s and have still managed to be in the market three decades since. These cardigans come in various lengths and look great when styled with a turtleneck and jeans. Put on those cardigans when you’re in doubt, and you’re set for the party.

Flannel Shirts

Nothing quite screams out the 90s as flannel shirts do. When they first came in, they gave a fresh alternative to the classic button-up shirts with their catchy square-printed monochromatic designs. Soon, they were available in a variety of colors. The funny thing is that they’re still found today across the globe and are an incredible choice to wear to a 90s-themed party.

Let the Party Begin

People say that the 90s were when the world opened up to each other with revolutions of industrialization, followed by globalization. The decade marked a distinct shift from the 70s and 80s when people started to embrace more comfortable and vibrant clothing. From colors to style options, the 90s indeed marked a shift in the fashion industry, and the roots behind some modern trends can be found in that transitional decade.

So what are you waiting for? Grab your favorite attire from this list to spruce up the 90s-themed party with a dash of nostalgia.

How to Dress up Like a celebrity

Have you ever wondered what makes our favorite celebs look hot and glamorous all year long? The answer is simple; stylists.

While it’s true that non-famous people like us can also style up in our everyday lives, celebrities and renowned personalities do have an ace up their sleeve when it comes to creating the latest trends. It’s hard not to imagine in times like these how you, too, could have rocked the front pages of fashion mags and internet forums with a professional stylist by your side who’s getting paid to create inspirational outfits for you.

But fret not! Just because you don’t have a stylist doesn’t mean you don’t actually have a stylist. You don’t need the big names of the fashion industry on your payroll to get inspired by their styles.

So if you want to deck up with your favorite star’s wardrobe but don’t know where to start, or if you are aspiring to stay ahead in the slay game without having to hire a stylist, we’ve compiled a list of how to dress like celebrities as well as celebrity dress-up ideas to help you rise and shine.

Tips for a Celebrity Fashion Makeover

If you keep regular tabs on what celebrities wear to parties and events or while casually addressing the fandom outdoors, you may have noticed some commonalities that reveal the basics of dressing up like one of them. So without further adieu, let’s take a look at some styling tips which will keep your style game on point and at par with your favorite celebs:

Keep an Eye Out for the Latest Trends

Ah, celebrities! From sports to movie stars, you’ll hardly find a renowned personality who isn’t up-to-date with the latest fashion trend. So when nothing else comes to mind, this is a great place to start. Start with your research and try to spot the latest styles that keep celebrities glamorous. Read fashion magazines, follow famous celebrities and stylists on social media platforms, and browse through fashion websites to learn everything about the latest inspo in the fashion industry. Alternatively, if you are driven by a unique or eclectic fashion sense of a particular celebrity (Lady Gaga, anyone?), then you can also check out their latest looks and find the right elements to add to your wardrobe.

Follow the Stylists

Yes, celebrities are best known for rocking the front covers of magazines and ads with their fashion outfits, but it’s really the designer and stylist behind them who conceive and bring that style to life. You can also give these stylists a follow on social platforms and check out what makes their fashion sense tick and how celebrities adopt it.

Start Transforming your Wardrobe

Now we all know that famous people have access to the top line of designer clothing and brands, which is only affordable for some. An excellent way to start is to slowly transform your wardrobe one piece at a time. This may take a lot of time and require you to constantly analyze what’s hot and what’s not in the fashion world, but adopting this approach is likely to result in a sassy wardrobe over time.

It’s well worth mentioning here that you shouldn’t be sacrificing the quality of fabrics or not burning a hole in your pocket while doing so. Invest in classic, timeless attires with high-quality fabrics that even your favorite celebrity would approve of.

Mix n’ Match

The thing that makes fashionistas out of celebrities is that you’ll rarely find them wearing the same outfit or style twice. They have so many eyes watching their every move that most of them would refrain from repeating their outfits, especially in public events. But this isn’t something that you need to worry about. You can mix and match your outfits and invest in pieces that look good on you and can be customized with many other options and accessories.

Celebrity Dress-Up Ideas

So with the tips done, let’s take a look at the most prominent Canadian celebrity fashionistas who turn heads (and fashion magazine pages) with their cool, sexy, or simply outrageous fashion sense.

Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling may already steal hearts with his vivid eyes and suave expressions but take a look down at his fashion sense. He mostly opts for a casual look with a leather jacket over denim shirts and jeans, but that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about the iconic suits that you can see him wearing at award functions and prestigious events. This is where he kills it (figuratively, of course).

Coco Rocha

Coco Rocha is a top Canadian model who knows the game when it comes to pulling off the best fashion in the country. She was featured in the Toronto Standard’s list of Canadian Style Industry Icons last year, and she certainly packs a punch while walking the ramp in her flowy and elegant dresses. Even with the top fashion designers behind her, Coco Rocha certainly deserves mention in our list.

Ryan Reynolds

What to say about the man himself; Ryan Reynolds. Ryan Reynolds is at the forefront of North American celebrities who know their fashion game inside out. He is undoubtedly among the most handsome and definitely talented Canadian men. But what makes him stand out is the fact that he gives him two pieces and a pair of trousers, and he’ll most certainly look good in them (remember Green Lantern?). This speaks volumes about how he carries himself in almost anything he wears.

We particularly love his effortless vibe in pulling off dad-like tailored pants and sweaters, creating a distinct niche in the fashion world. The best thing about Ryan Reynold’s fashion is that you don’t need to spend extravagantly to don his style.

Rachel McAdams

From one talented and quirky Canadian celebrity to another, Rachel McAdams is another style icon in Canada who can perfectly reflect her witty self in the outfits she wears. We’ve pretty much seen the Notebook star look dapper in everything she wears, from boho outfits to more elegant styles. But that doesn’t mean that Rachel can’t pull off an oversized tee or a maxi dress if she wants to (she already has).

Celine Dion

A Canadian celebrity who is no less than a legend in the music industry, Celine Dion can also make you go gaga with her style. In recent years, the singer has been the diva with her exemplary street-style inspirations that perfectly showcase her fluency and flawlessness, just like her singing prowess.

Time for a Wardrobe Revolution

This was our guide on how to dress like a celebrity and some famous Canadian Style icons who make dressing up for the red carpet seem effortless. Most of it is down to their exceptional team of stylists who constantly strive to create that killer, viral look, but it’s also due to their personality and dressing preferences.

So give your favorite celebs a follow to check out their styles and slowly transform your wardrobe to become a trendsetter in your social circle.
