As their name suggests, Sunshine Makers create music that radiates warmth. The music resonates with themes of positivity and hope—with love, peace, and unity always at the forefront. With a beautiful bouquet of vocal arrangements, and the use of organic instrumentation alongside analog synthesizers, the sonic appeal is an amalgamation of modern and classic vibes with deep roots in R&B, funk, jazz, and neosoul. Sunshine Makers began in 2017 as a Toronto-based studio project led by Brent Jackson in partnership with producer Ben Fox. The project was rooted in collaboration, diversity, and creative freedom, that opened up opportunities to work and record with creative gems in the Toronto scene such as, Julien Barbagallo (Tame Impala), Odario Williams (Grand Analog), Aquakultre, Chester Hansen (BADBADNOTGOOD), Caitlin Woelfle-O’Brien (Blunt Chunks), keyboardist J3m Roberts, and saxophonist Dennis Passley (Arkells). In February 2023, Sunshine Makers released their first EP, A Side, with support from Flying Colours Records, La Mission (France), POPUP Records (Germany), and the Ontario Arts Council. Well received critically, EP singles “The Dream” and “Got to be Good” were also added to regular rotation on CBC radio, France’s FIP Radio, and to editorial streaming playlists; helping the band in its mission to connect, build community, and spread peace, love, and sunshine. They are preparing for the release of the second EP B side—and their first full-length album.
