Running With Scissors

Toronto-based genre-defying producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist The Ugly Fun is
breathing new life into his music with a fresh name, vision and approach. His music is
cherry-picked from indie, garage and pop elements, with a unique guitar-led and progressive
spin. His process is one that thrives from collaboration; constantly seeking fresh and
innovative ways to tap into new avenues of creativity, and often incorporating other artistic
sources to spark inspiration - most recently connecting with the work of art photographers to
ignite refreshing musical and lyrical ideas.
Having been making music for 40 years, he has come far from his days of recording on an
old tascam Portastudio that his father would rent for him once a year. In a flurry of youthful
creativity he would use his two week rental window to scrape together crudely recorded
tapes, later gifting them to whoever would listen. A talented multi-instrumentalist, he began
his instrumental journey playing piano and drums, and later at the age of 12 found the love
for guitar when discovering a battered fake stratocaster and giving it a second chance at life.
In 2015 he launched indie garage trio The Sleepovers, playing shows and recording a few
EPs until the trio eventually went their separate ways. Inspired by the abundance of voice
notes left unfinished on his phone, he is now injecting new life into old ideas under solo and
collaborative rebrand The Ugly Fun. The result is daring, guitar-driven, lofi-injected garage
pop infusions. His debut single ‘Mixed Tape’ is out September 3rd, and is deeply inspired by
his teenage years at the lake, and influenced by the works of art photographer Tina Barney.
