We Would Like To Introduce

Every time I travel abroad I realize that simply growing up in 1 Love T.O. prepares you to become a global citizen. I’m also reminded of the talented people that live in this city that contribute to that in so many ways. So today I’d like to introduce you to Sharona D’Ornellas a friend of mine doing outstanding work in dance, film and theatre on an international scale.

Every time I check in with her she is doing something new, exciting, and cooler than the last. Sharona is trained in Indian, Jazz, Ballet, and Hip-Hop and has a list of credits in film and T.V. Sharona’s cool factor is that her range consistently grows. From being in Ice Princess Ballet Dancer for Disney Pictures to The Love Guru Bollywood, to being a Toronto Raptors Dance Pak Dancer and back-up dancer for Chaka Khan.

Sharona is currently living and auditioning in NYC, so we will be checking in with her to keep you posted.

This Is Africa

A Mogadisho native, by way of Toronto, K’Naan just released his latest video for “T.I.A.” The video was directed by Nabil, the same director who brought you Kanye West and Kid Cudi’s “Welcome To Heartbreak” video. It’s extremely creative and the vibe is incredible. Take it in, and let us know what you think?

This video meant a lot to us, especially because T-RexXx just got back from Africa!

T.O. to Brooklynati

My friend Heinz, who’s from Toronto, designed the “Brooklynati” album artwork for the rap group Tanya Morgan, based out of Brooklyn/Cincinnati. It’s always great to see people from other countries recognizing the talent we have in Toronto and allowing us the opportunity to shine world wide. Album drops tomorrow, good work Heinz!

T.O. to The World

to_global

We just wanted to share a global perspective on what 1LOVETO.com is capable of. Over the past month and few days we’ve continued to reach thousands of people not only in Toronto, but abroad. We as a great city have the potential to open the eyes of our own people, as well as others to what makes Toronto so special. We’re giving you the readers a sense of Toronto from our perspective, from an angle that we see Toronto from, in the hopes that it will organically evolve in to what we all see! From T.O. to Australia, Finland, the UK to California…it’s all LOVE.

Take a look at the Recent Visitor Map to see what we’re talking about!
