The veritable mosaic of artistry that is the Rice Junkie Collective began with some simple experimentation within a group of friends: six individuals with unique talents coming together to make music. What started with late night jam sessions soon flourished into an opportunity for these now seasoned performers to showcase their talents in more public venues, inspiring collaborations with a wide array of other artists.

The RjC is known as a "collective" primarily to recognize each of its members, who are superb solo artists in their own right. As the RjC, they mix their individual flavours together to create a sound unlike any other. Ranging in genres from contemporary rhythm & blues and funk to acid jazz and house, the RjC has amassed a solid repertoire in an alarmingly short period of time. They have played for a variety of occasions as well as gigs around Toronto's bar scene. Notable venues include Rancho Relaxo, Una Mas, the Toronto International Dragon Boat Festival and the former All Stars bar and lounge.

Summer 2002 promises to be another groundbreaking year for these up and coming performers. Be sure to check up on the news section for dates and appearances!
