“The goal is not just to create art, but to create something that reflects the people, culture, and resilience that shaped me in Scarborough.”
SRE (pronounced “sorry”) is a Scarborough-born hip-hop and R&B artist known for blending sharp lyricism with soulful, cinematic storytelling. Drawing inspiration from hip-hop, soul, and jazz-influenced musicality, he creates music that balances emotional honesty with rich, groove-driven production. A winner of the RISE + Flow competition, SRE has collaborated with Canadian Hall of Famer Randy Bachman and shared stages with artists including Haviah Mighty, Tona, EverythigOShauN, Choclair, Elderbrook, and Vandelux. Backed by a 6-piece band, he delivers dynamic live performances that bring depth, energy, and musicianship to contemporary hip-hop, establishing himself as a distinctive voice in Canada’s next generation of artists.
