Get to know the future of R&B: R. Flex. Named as Now Toronto’s Artist to Watch in 2022, R. Flex is scrupulously revealing their vision for 2022. Having just released their incredible second EP FLEX WITH BENEFITS, R. Flex is ready to change the face of R&B. Featuring production from Zlender (assistant mixing engineer on “Hotline Bling”), Def Starz (producer on Cupcakke’s “Ephorize”), Sofia Fly (Toronto rapper/DJ phenom), Driftnote (produced for Witch Prophet & Shad), & Tantu Beats (Netherlands’ platinum producer), R. Flex has released one of the best pop/R&B EPs out of the city this year. Simply put, R. Flex is an underground star in the making. In March 2020, R. Flex was one of the first artists to perform on Club Quarantine: one of the world’s biggest online dance parties to emerge at the beginning of the pandemic. Their performance of a striptease in the shower garnered them attention in Paper Magazine alongside queer icons Kim Petras, Charli XCX, and Tinashe. R. Flex is ready for you to CHECK THE FLEX!
