Deep in the heart of Ontario, in Winter 2009, four souls combined to tell a story. A story of sudden blizzards, thin crust pizza - extra cheese, pepperoni, half pineapple, half red onion - whiskey, alienation, Tim Horton's coffee, chipmunk infestation, rum, love in the tundra, bewilderment, family and music. 

The original line up of DJ Johnny Fever (cuts), Kojo B. Chintoh (percussion), Kobi (vocals) and Scotty P (guitar/bass), formed Canadian Winter. A number of chance meetings led to the group forming in Hamilton and they have since set about musically chronicling Kobi's arrival and subsequent stay in the country. 

Working alongside producers such as Supa83, Slow Hand Motem and Cheese Shop Paddy, the band won the Hamilton Music Award for Hip-Hop Recording Of The Year for their debut album 'Just Wait Till February'. 

As new guitarist Jay Baggett joined the group in Spring of 2012 - the band are working towards completing a new project, due for release at the end of the year.

This is the tale of a man who persevered when all about him was frozen and trekked the Great White North in search of his destiny. Drink a double double to that. Bundle up! CW.


"Canadian Winter is not your average Hiphop crew...What they offer is a new voice and style not comparable to any you heard before" - Dennis Lehto @ The Program101.com

"If any Hamilton group is poised to break out into the wider Canadian market, it just might be Canadian Winter..." Jesse Skinner @ Toro Magazine
