By FYI Staff

Longtime Montreal music executive Lennie Levine’s latest venture, LL Artists, has signed a distribution partnership with The Orchard. Described as a partnership,  the music company plans to  work with artists, producers and other creators to develop unique opportunities for Canadian talent domestically and internationally. 
 
LL Artists was founded in the summer of 2020 by Levine who served as executive VP and later President of Last Gang Entertainment. Prior to that, he was EVP at the Donald K Donald Group.   With LL Artists, Levine ventures that he has created “a modern, hybrid artist management company and record label for today’s dynamic and expanding music landscape.”
 
“I am very excited and incredibly grateful to The Orchard and my artists for this unique opportunity and partnership,” says Levine. “My objective is to help and enable artists to reach their fullest potential and to be able to do so internationally. Our partnership with The Orchard is perfect because it allows LL Artists to tap into an incredibly vast distribution network and a deep analytical dashboard that will greatly benefit our roster. This wouldn’t have been possible without Lisa Logentenkow – my sincerest thanks to her, Karine Lafleur and Brooke Morgan at The Orchard for their amazing support of LL Artists.”
 
First to be released on the LL Artists label imprint, distributed by The Orchard, will be Montreal rock ‘n roll disruptors, The Flamingos Pink‘s Free Livin debut single from an upcoming sophomore album, coming out on March 11.

LL Artists will round out the first half of 2022 with the long-awaited return of Canada’s hip-hop OG and Guru’s protégé, Bless, with new music coming in May.

Stevie Wonder Cancels House Full of Toys Benefit Concert: ‘Big Idea, Little Time’

Slated to perform Dec. 18-21 at L.A.'s Fonda Theatre, the Grammy winner will give "a substantial donation for the children" instead.

To celebrate the 26th edition of his House Full of Toys holiday benefit concert, Stevie Wonder said in a promo video that he was “switching things up.” Instead of performing for one night, the 25-time Grammy-winning legend would perform across four nights — Dec. 18, 19, 20 and 21 — at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, however, Wonder is canceling his “big idea” owing to “little time” — with plans to present the benefit concert again next year.

In a statement Wonder read on his L.A. radio station KJLH, he explained, “A week and a half ago I came up with the idea of doing four nights at the Fonda Theatre to raise money for House Full of Toys. Big idea. Little time. So because of that little time, I’ve decided to cancel all four shows. Yet still I will this year put my money where my heart is by giving a substantial donation for the children for House Full of Toys. And next year, we will again do House Full of Toys with the big idea and enough time to put it together.”
