MadeInTO: Takes A Village

Takes a Village Music is a Toronto-based collective of rotating artists, producers, and musicians, led by music producer and creative director Corey “HMLT” Wong. The group’s catalogue is born from a weekly session known as “Potluck,” where various creatives come together to contribute their musical flavour. Driven by Toronto’s cultural diversity, the music reflects a wide range of influences—from Western R&B traditions to UK garage—creating a sound that feels globally informed yet locally grounded. The “Potluck” project has also opened up the opportunity to collaborate with Toronto’s local food scene, bringing music and the culinary world together in an innovative way. Takes a Village Music is more than a band—it’s a living, breathing creative ecosystem where music, food, and community intertwine.
