Hifilo - Speak Your Name (2020)

HiFiLo (aka Todd Pentney) is an award winning Toronto based
producer, pianist and keyboardist. His music merges contrasting
genres seamlessly into a unique, singular sound by showcasing a
mixture of modern production with live performance and
improvisations.

HiFiLo’s debut solo album Speak Your Name is bold and vibrantly
eclectic. The culmination of years performing in the spheres of
jazz and pop, HiFiLo harnesses the colours of vintage synths
and electro-mechanical keyboards to create intricate tapestries
of sound inspired by the likes of Prince, Stevie Wonder,
Radiohead, Bill Evans, The Beach Boys and Keith Jarrett.

HiFiLo has extensive experience as a session musician and
creative performer with artists such as the Allison Au Quartet,
Yuka, re.verse, Aphrose, and Maya Killtron. He has worked as
Producer on all three of the Allison Au Quartet’s albums; “The
Sky Was Pale Blue, Then Grey” and “Wander Wonder” garnered JUNO
award nominations in 2013 and 2019 respectively, while “Forest
Grove” won the 2016 JUNO Award for “Best Jazz Album of the Year:
Group.”

As a producer with diverse musical tastes, HiFiLo champions the
notion that the we all need to explore and cultivate our
individual creative voices. Speak Your Name does just that: it
is a confident debut outing from a musician who is shouting to
the world: “I am here.”
