About the Music

Your Friday afternoon dose of music and banter!

About Me

About the Music used to be a show hosted, and Produced by Leanda Quinquet that aired every Friday afternoon on Toronto's CIUT 89.5 FM. As of April 2008 the show will take a new friendlier, downloadable form as a weekly podcast featuring the same old ATM goodness....class interviews, new releases and exclusive tracks. ___________________________________________________

My Interests

We enjoy a myriad of musical genres including, but not limited to:electro pop, folk, hip hop, indie rock, singer/songwriters, americana, alt country, world grooves, reggae, etc.

Outside of the radio show we enjoy reading, coffee, shoes, cinema, animals, being creative and travelling...

I'd like to meet:
