About The Black Music Brunch
Canada’s Premier Celebration of Black Music & Cultural Excellence
Founded in 2022 by award-winning DJ and cultural curator MelBoogie, The Black Music Brunch is a national platform honouring the trailblazers of Canada’s Black music legacy while elevating the next generation of artists. Across the country, this invitation-only Brunch brings together iconic voices, emerging talent, and cultural leaders to celebrate Black excellence in music —from coast to coast.
The Black Music Brunch proudly celebrates icons who have shaped Canada’s musical identity while championing emerging voices shaping its future. Maestro Fresh Wes, Gary Beals, Kardinal Offishall, JRDN, k-Os, Glenn Lewis, Michie Mee, and other cultural leaders have joined VIP guests to support, mentor, and uplift the next generation of talent, while celebrating Canadian Black Music.
