TORONTO RISING

We went to Toronto to meet 40 in his hometown, and take a tour of his life as a producer, seeing the people and places that helped form him into the groundbreaking innovator he is today. We took a road trip visiting a range of studios past and present, from 40’s first ever basement setup to the exclusive space where he created the sounds for 40’S VERY OWN KEYS & DRUMS.
