Who would have thought, that a man who love something so much that his whole life would be devoted to such a thing as music. Indeed true, ShaQ:Muzik makes music his goal in life, because the way he makes it, he makes it good. Plus he not only makes good …

U-N-T (pronounced “unity”) is a Canadian progressive rock trio based in Toronto. Staying true to their name, vocalist/guitarist Michael Scotta Delorme, bassist Marc-L Porter and drummer Rick Smith aim to bring together even the broadest of musical crowds.
