"My father was also a DJ so I have a huge connection to music ever since I could remember."

Rich Kidd has steadily amassed praise from industry greats and music critics for his 360-degree musical vision as a performer, producer, and DJ. As a producer, he has been in the studio with the country’s best like Drake, Kardinal Offishall, k-OS, and Maestro Fresh Wes, adding underground classics, commercial hits and award-winning projects to his resume. All 3 projects Rich Kidd released: The Closers, In My Opinion; and Naturally Born Strangers went on to be the only independently released projects nominated in the Rap Category at the JUNO Awards in 2013, 2014 and 2015 with the latter winning the award.


What inspired you to DJ?

I was inspired by the youth at The Remix Project to DJ after a long career of performance and music production. My father was also a DJ so I have a huge connection to music ever since I could remember.

What is on your playlist right now?

SZA – “Drive”; Kendrick Lamar – “Dodger Blue”; Doechii – “NISSAN ALTIMA”; Billie Eilish – “Birds of a Feather”; Jessie Reyez – “Jeans” etc.

What is your favourite thing about Union Station?

My favourite thing about Union Station is the shopping area and food court. You can get almost anything you want at Union whether it’s a nice dress for Friday evening or a big mac from McDonald’s. Union has it all!

What’s something surprising about you that people may not know?

I can quote at least one line from every Fresh Prince of Bel Air episode. Or at least I think I can.
