Entertainment One Global President Chris Taylor, Reservoir Media Management co-founder and CEO Golnar Khosrowshahi, and ole CEO and co-founder Robert Ott make the list alongside such luminaries as Daniel Glass and Scott Borchetta.


The feature profiles the individuals with quotes that include Taylor’s illuminating statement as follows:

Adds Taylor: “We are going to have a whole generation of musicians who [will] miss their opportunity to excel by declining the assistance of well-trained, well-financed companies that can really help a developing act take things to the next level.”

Toronto Producer Loukeman Talks 'Sd-3' and DJing the Biggest Stages of His Career: Interview

Loukeman's music is living on a feeling.

Back in April, the Toronto DJ/producer released his third album Sd-3, capping off a trilogy of albums that began in 2021 with his beat tape Sd-1 and has since earned him a cult fanbase. He has long operated in a unique lane bridging indie, alternative and dance textures into a unique sonic landscape full of pitched vocals, raw ambience and glitchy textures, a DIY approach that dates back to his beginnings making mash-ups on VirtualDJ as a kid.
