Aspektz

For years, Toronto’s most thorough artist has been waiting in the shadows of the

corner office, preparing for this moment. Aspektz, more affectionately known as Mr.

Thoro or Ontario Banderas, began writing and recording in his formative years,

mixing the eclectic palette of sounds he was bombarded with in a packed house. At 6

years old, he was knocking on neighborhood doors to perform for every child’s currency

- candy. By the time he was 13, the stage shifted and he was peddling mixtapes at high

school dances across Ontario. It became clear early on to everyone around him that,

although the leader of the True Thorobredz was gifted in the art of business, it was the

art behind this business that would lead him to his dreams.

Born on December 9th, 1985, Mr. Thoro was a unique child. Raised by two

hardworking parents, business was always the order of the day. His father, a blues and

rock enthusiast, would spend dinner explaining the complexities of entrepreneurialism,

leadership and integrity, drilling the merit of independence into Aspektz young mind.

It was only natural, from these experiences, that he would blend his passion for writing

music with the business of entertainment, thus creating the True Thorobredz.

After releasing his first single from Academic Probation through iTunes,

entitled In The TDot, it quickly became apparent that the young CEO’s investments

were about to pay dividends. Aspektz catapulted his momentum exponentially with the

follow-up, Fresh, a manifesto for all things unique, crisp and clean. Next up was the

reggae-infused smash I Love Your Style. The Rich Kidd produced masterpiece

unveiled Ontario Banderas’ lustful desires to find Lady Thoro and simultaneously set

the charts, and women’s hearts, on fire.

The Academic Probation era is poised to begin in the fall of 2010 with a flurry of

mixtapes and viral content. Birthing electro-hop, a distinct style to represent Canada

internationally, the Boardroom Bully has emerged as a leader in a scene of desperately

in need of a shepherd. With his wingtips shined and his French cuffs rolled up, the

industry better get an understanding of all things Aspektz or prepare for a hostile

takeover.
