#2 KosiCreates
Website: montrealgotstyle.com
As a content creator for Montrealgotstyle, Kosicreates has a special eye as a curator and creator. From lifestyle content, inspiration pieces, wild parties, fashion content and web series concepts. He translates the Montreality with a unique perspective.
KosiCreates is also a part of various projects and initiatives that impacts different sub-communities. He was there for the early beginnings of platforms such as ”Tout Le Hood En Parle”, contributed to the Hip Hop scene with visuals for DMS Battle Ring.
His quest to build bridges between MTL and the rest of the world made him cross the border several times. Now an insider at Agenda Trade Show, a key correspondent with Reverend Alp Sharpton‘s Organization and different creatives in the United States.
Kosi brought back gem interviews from cultural entrepreneurs such as Mr Throwback, Damon Green (community54), Dapper Dan & many more. All of this to inspire the city into becoming the worldwide phenomenon it has the potential to be!

One of his best content to date was a capsule he did while experimenting ”Vision Portraits”. The point is to partake in a photoshoot with the mindset and look you would have if you already made it.

#3 Carmelo Gp
Website: carmelogp.com
Carmelo’s feed is like a visual trip to a GQ magazine. Outfit ideas, bold, colorful and creative just how we like it. This Montreal content creator is also the perfect fashion insider to follow since he’s taking part into major events such as New York Fashion Week and presents upcoming trends you need to get your hands on.
Carmelo is on point also for everything surrounding grooming, architecture and arts. Social media is about sharing what you love but his edge is the fact that he can also educate is audience about his passions.
His content is an open window into a fashion enthusiast/foody and trust me you can’t get more Montreal than that!

#4 Tyler Lemco
Tyler Lemco will probably become your favorite storyteller/content creator after reading this. From his wrestling series called ” High-Risk Maneuverer” in which he goes back in time to reenact wrestling key moments or more recently with his new show called ”High With Ty”,.
Tyler Is Always Up To Something.
Fun fact, Lemco ran for mayor of Montreal last year and actually qualified! This goes to show that Montreal content creators are much more than creators; they actually want to be a part of the solution.
Funny, provocative, informational at times and 100% creative. He understands the pulse of subcultures and he translates that very well through his camera presence and overall charisma.

#5 Kevin Calixte (french content)
Kevin Calixte and his team are bringing something very valuable to the table, a show to talk about the ”REAL SH*T”. An initiative coming from the growing frustration of the black community for a lack of representation in mainstream media, The Keke Show embodies everything at the same time.
It’s a panel and talk show with the ”For Us By Us” spirit that has been lacking for a while. In Keke Show they dive into social issues, taboo subjects and most of all they give a voice to the voiceless.
This creator turned a simple Facebook live experience into something bigger. Thousands of views and comments on a WEEKLY basis and all of this for empowering the community.
Sometimes it reminds you of a typical Maury Show when the crowd goes off, other times you wonder if Kevin is the Montreal version of Charlamagne and sometimes it gets very serious and profound.

The End Of An Era And A New Start: Dress To Kill Magazine Goes Digital
A New World Order
I hate to break it down to you so abruptly but the world is changing, the world as we knew it, the way we consume, the way we think and even that good old Dress To Kill magazine is going through it.
Read More: Learn About The Black History In Montreal With This New City Tour
As a young and inexperienced blogger back in 2016, I felt deep in my earth that paper was a dying medium and that the internet was about to carry the torch.
a hundreds of blog posts later, multiple attempts at building an online presence and literally trying to digitize the aesthetics & creativity I saw in magazines growing up.
I must admit 2 things: 1. what it takes to make fashion or information enjoyable is very hard to put together and 2 building an audience on or offline is a GREAT feat.
I grew to admire and respect my peers in traditional media because they made the most out of nothing at a time where Facebook and all those outlets were not a thing.
In case you didn’t know, Dress To Kill magazine is not your average magazine by any shape or form.
Promoting Canadian art and fashion from province to province was something seemingly unthinkable but they got it done.
From iconic covers with Lenny Kravitz and more iconic nights at le Mount Stephen to bring the whole industry under the same roof, DTK got it done.
Don’t take what I’m saying as a farewell note because today actually mark a rebirth for the publication.
Indeed, while the world was going all over the place, they went on a well thought out rebrand.
As you might have guessed, the biggest take away from this is the stoppage of the paper version of the magazine.
The focus is now digital but as I told you earlier, DTK doesn’t go halfway.
Their new platform will include an online boutique which once again is going to focus on shedding light on Canadian creators for men and women.

Do you think more magazines are going to make a full transition to digital?

We Ask A Personal Development Coach How To Overcome The Ins and Outs Of The Crisis
It’s all about your point of view
Everything You Need to Know Through The Lens Of A Personal Development Coach
I’m always amazed at how people like to stigmatize the role or relevance of a personal development coach. They’re quick to label it a scam, a fad, something based on nothing but little they did know, they’re coaches around the world who impacts millions and millions of people in a life changing way. I was looking for the equivalent of a Tony Robbins in Quebec, my research undoubtedly came back to the same name: Marc Dumaine.
Read More: Here’s What I’ve Learned About Myself Since The Coronavirus Crisis Started
Mr Dumaine is more than a personal development coach, he’s a man with a story.
Not your average story either. From overcoming alcohol and drug abuse to obtaining a MBA to running campaigns for some of the biggest corporations in this province. Here’s a man of many battles.
Honorable mention too, these days Marc is focused on creating an international platform to impact as many people he possibly can.
The bottom line is this. This personal development coach is not unfamiliar with trials and tribulations, changes and transitions.
That’s why to me, in a time like this where everything is doing a 180 degree, I had to pick his brain and ask him how can you and I get over.
In this Q&A, we indeed ask Marc Dumaine about several things such as how to bounce back from the crisis, his keys to success and much more.
QUESTIONS FOR MARC DUMAINE
#1 How did you figure yourself out as a future entrepreneur and what was the key factor that made you take that route?I was always an artist at heart and found that I didn’t it in any mole. After completing my MBA, I realized that my biggest assets were my differences. I decided at that moment to stop following what people expected from me and launched my own business. To me being an entrepreneur is an art form in itself. I have never regretted that choice since I launched Asana Coaching 10 years ago. #2 How can someone go from being self-employed to an entrepreneur making money without physically being there?The internet is booming with opportunities right now ! Even with the COVID-19, there is a redefinition of the way people consume products and services ! It is a TIME for being creative and look into endless opportunities ! Get out of our comfort zone and start being inspired by people who are already doing it ! Then, build yourself a right game plan with an amazing branding, and you are all set for the best adventure of your life.

If you’re interested in seeing him in action, he’s doing a Facebook live tonight at 7:30 pm and if you’re looking for some light in these dark times, that’s the place to be.
