 Randolph College To Launch...Are You Ready? The Bill King Centre

By FYI Staff

The Randolph College for the Performing Arts (RCPA) will inaugurate its second location for post-secondary education this spring and it will be named in honour of legendary pianist, composer and music scribe Bill King.


The Bill King Centre will be located within the Daniels Corp. Artworks Condominium in the heart of Toronto’s Regent Park district.

The Regent Park district is an “important cultural destination as well as an ‘arts district' from which the next generation of great artists and performers will emerge, said Mitchell Cohen, President and CEO of The Daniels Corporation, which is to house the new 10,000 square foot cultural centre that will host studios, an event space, lounge and library.

Juno Awards Backtrack on Decision to Drop Reggae and Gospel Categories Following Widespread Criticism

Artists and politicians spoke out about the previously revealed decision to drop four categories, including reggae and Christian/gospel, from the 2025 awards, pointing out inclusivity concerns over eliminating awards for Black-led genres.

The 2025 Juno Awards will include awards for reggae recording, Christian/gospel album, and children's album, after all.

CARAS, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS), has reportedly reversed a planned decision to put those three categories on hiatus, as well as the award for international album, the fate of which remains unknown.
