Special Feature:
Phil's First Myspace Blog!

I run the Phil Demetro Mastering operation out of Lacquer Channel's studio "A". Originally designed by Terry Medwedyk of Group One Acoustics, it's an unbelievably well conceived mastering environment. It's modular so that I can essentially change the sound of the room as times and trends change. Virtually no limit to how it can sound or do what I want it to do. Very comfortable and the "sonics" translate flawlessly to your favorite system. Speakers are a soffit-mount style speaker (as used by Brian " Big Bass" Gardner & Bernie Grundman) and are custom made to our specifications by Canadian speaker designer Steve Kranis. Built specifically for the dimensions of my mastering studio. I would buy these again tomorrow given the choice.

THE PHILOSOPHER KINGS have released three immensely successful albums have had multiple Top 10 radio hits, Industry Award nominations and sold-out concert venues across the country. Their new album, “Castles” is a culmination of everyone’s life experiences and influences over the last decade and underneath the sweet groove and earnest soulfulness, they continue to build strong epic stories with their lyrics. "Castles in the Sand" is the first single from this group's stellar new album.

JACKSOUL's new release "mySOUL' is a collection of 13 tracks that combines emotive lyrics and soul stirring music. Underscoring the music on the album is consistent theme of timeless, soulful artistry. The album's first single, "Onesong" was a instant hit across the country.

KESHIA
CHANTE


Phil has had the honor of working with Toronto's leading female vocalists and emcees. These girls have been making a splash on the airwaves and in the clubs.


DIVINE BROWN is all about the voice-bend a note here, extend a phrase there, scat somewhere else to suit the mood of the rhythm track. She has shared the stage with everyone from The Temptations to George Benson to KRS-One.

JULLY BLACK is one of the most well-respected singer/songwriters in the Canadian music community. An immensely talented vocalist, she recently released her debut album "This Is Me" to great critical acclaim.

MELANIE DURRANT's first full length release, "Where I'm Goin'" is full of melodic surprises, heavenly harmonies and bold direction. She embodies the voice, attitude and sound that young North America has been waiting for.

ETERNIA has been a formidable presence in the Canadian and international urban music industry for over a decade. This lyrical powerhouse has tightened her skills on street corners, stages, and in studio sessions across Canada, the U.S. and Australia. Her first full length release, "It's Called Life" was released in late 2005.

KESHIA CHANTE has released a GOLD album and won a Juno Award for "R&B/Soul Recording of the Year" in 2004. This petite vocal powerhouse burst on the scene in 2003 and instantly grabbed the attention of both industry tastemakers and consumers. She is currently working on her second album in New York with a release scheduled for 2006.
