Hello Beautiful
If you want to go out and have fun seeing a live band, Hello Beautiful is who you should be looking for. This unique blend of rock and hip hop never fails to make the crowd dance, but be aware, there is way more to the songs than you might think at first glance. When you unwrap the upbeat packaging, you’ll find lyrics which deal with serious and important issues of our time.
Hello Beautiful is one of two last year’s Indie Week Toronto winners and is currently touring in support of their debut album ‘Soundtrack for Scenario.’ The band’s promotional tour includes many great live venues in Toronto, such as The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern, but they also brought their music to Breakfast Television in April. Currently, the video to ‘Virginia Symphony’ can be seen on MuchMusic.
In Hello Beautiful the lead vocals are shared between two band members. While Cole Martin sings the melodic parts, it’s Charlie Royal who is responsible for the hip hop portion of the band’s music. Charlie comments on the Toronto music scene: “It is very eclectic, the indie scene is very open to trying new things: new sounds, styles, etc. and in the band scene, there is a vibrant acceptance of innovative sound.”
With their innovative sound, Hello Beautiful takes a special place in Toronto’s independent music scene. “I think we bring a refreshing difference to what is normally heard, even within the surroundings of mixing hip hop and rock,” Charlie says. “We are actually very fortunate to have found a blend of things that create a unique sound, but are also entertaining at the same time.” And entertaining it is.
