A special guest, NATE HUSSER, will be featured at our annual event MONETIZED ! 💲

Nate Husser is already proving to be one of the fastest rising talents coming out of Canada and a true hip-hop powerhouse. Huss continues to showcase his musical talent and vision as an artist with the release of "LEMONS", a new single from his upcoming project, ‘I LOVE IT HERE’ via +1 Records.

"When I’m done I just want people to know about lil burgundy and how it raised me”. Outside the booth you can only really find Nate on a basketball court. His passion for both games has led him this far.

Nate Husser has brought the tale of a rose from concrete to life. From the roughs of Little Burgundy to international stages, Nate has won numerous awards for his musical talent, acting prowess and vision as an artist, the last one being the winner of Best Web Series: Drama at the LA Film Awards for his lead role in “Amours d’occasion”.

Being a victim of fraud can be emotionally distressing. Prevention measures provide peace of mind and reduce the stress and anxiety associated with dealing with the aftermath of a fraudulent incident. By being proactive, vigilant, and informed, individuals can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to scams and fraud. Regularly updating one's knowledge on security practices and adopting preventive measures can contribute to a safer online and offline experience.
