February 17th, 2023 - celebrating the artistic and multitalented Choreographer, Director and Movement Coach, .

Hollywood is one of Toronto's greatest creative forces, having a career that spans over 15 years of greatness and Black excellence. As a dancer and choreographer, he's worked alongside some of the greatest entertainers of our generation including Jully Black, Snoop Dogg, Nelly Furtado and Rihanna just to name a few. His involvement in countless tours, TV shows, music videos, and awards shows has solidified his place across North America as a truly passionate, noteworthy creative.

Despite the barriers that Hollywood has faced as a Black q***r man, he has managed to push past every single obstacle and create a lane for himself. In 2011, Hollywood founded his own performance company, "Hollywood Jade Presents Urbanesque" managing to blend the world of Burlesque with Hip-Hop. He has appeared in projects like "Hairspray", "Save The Last Dance 2", and is a series regular on "Canada's Drag Race." From 2017-2021, he also served as an Artistic Director for The Black Diamond Ball. Hollywood continues to push boundaries and diversity in entertainment and is definitely one to watch.

Hollywood, thank you for showing us the true power of authenticity, creativity and leadership. Your work continues to inspire us all and we celebrate you today and always!
