The Free Label formed in 2017 and is made up of six musicians from Toronto, Canada. With a collective love of 80’s disco, 90’s RnB, they got their start playing house parties and dive bars, hence the name “your moms favourite party band,” until their 2019 release of “All Night” which took them to new heights touring internationally. Their notorious live set impresses attendees with their balls-to-the-wall technical abilities and leaves a lasting impression with their exceptional crowd engagement that facilitates a highly dynamic, sweaty, dance-focused show. With a sound that is both unique and infectious, The Free Label has taken the music world by storm and will be touring in North America, Europe, and South Asia / Japan all throughout 2023.
“Shine,” the first single from their debut 2024 album, features Braxton Cook who played saxophone on Mac Miller & Christian Scott’s projects as well as produced for Taylor Swift. This song is a laidback anthem that celebrates individuality and encourages listeners to embrace their unique qualities and shine like a superstar.
The group is composed of lead vocalist Josh Daniel, guitarist Malik Mungo, keyboardist Cole Mendez, and bassist Mathew Fantini. The band is known for their free-flowing approach to creating and performing music, where all members are simultaneously vocalists, multi-instrumentalists and producers.
In 2019 the band set out on a four-month artist residency with Celebrity Cruise Lines performing their original music all around the globe. And by 2020, the band’s first single “All Night” amassed over 900,000 streams on Spotify.
