Takes a Village Music is a Toronto-based collective of rotating artists, producers, and musicians, led by producer and creative director HMLT (Corey Wong). At its core, the project is about building community—creating a space where creatives can gather, connect, and make music together. The group’s catalogue is born from a weekly session known as “Potluck,” where different artists come together to contribute their own flavour. Since launching the “Potluck” sessions in September 2024—and not missing a single week—the collective has built a strong catalog of music. The collective releases a new track on the first Friday of every month to keep their listeners inspired and well fed. The roster is ever-changing, featuring contributions from artists such as Eric Ryan, kaiyel, Nilo Blues, Winnie Wong, Chara Kai-Le, Tylor Jay Santos, Keanu Richal, Koladae, Sonya Tsu, and many more. Every track is produced and curated under the guidance of HMLT, ensuring a distinct yet ever-expanding musical identity. Takes a Village Music is more than a band—it’s a living, breathing creative ecosystem where music, food, and community intertwine.
