BELL MEDIA is partnering with artist and producer SOL GUY to establish what they call a "creative hub and artist incubator," DAIS. The project will include creation of a DAIS-branded digital radio station for distribution via iHEARTRADIO CANADA as well as short-form web series and music.
“We are very excited to partner with SOL and strengthen our relationship with content creators,” said BELL MEDIA President, Broadcasting and Content RANDY LENNOX. “We’re thrilled with what we’ve seen so far and look forward to leveraging the BELL MEDIA megaphone to help take select projects to the next level.”
“The opportunity to partner with BELL MEDIA and develop world-class projects is extremely exciting. Their platform ecosystem is unparalleled, like a sandbox of creative possibilities, and we intend to bring the best artists in the world there to work, collaborate, and play,” said SOL GUY. “RANDY LENNOX has always believed in artist development being the key to long-term success. These are changing times and BELL MEDIA’s commitment to adapting by supporting the artists who will shape our future is extremely inspiring.”
DAIS has already established a number of projects and relationships, including a development partnership with EZRA MILLER ("FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM"); a four-part series, "MOVEMENT ART IS (M.A.I.)," to be co-produced with GREAT BIG STORY; partnerships for talent development with PIRATES BLEND/SONY MUSIC CANADA and CADENCE/UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP; a four-part music-video series with A TRIBE CALLED RED to be broadcast on MUCH, W5, and iHEARTRADIO CANADA; a partnership with THE REMIX PROJECT; and the digital radio station, to be launched later this year on iHEARTRADIO CANADA.
