MUSIC COMMENTARY
UPDATED DAILY

Toronto-born George “Strombo” Stroumboulopoulos firmly believes in standing up for what’s right and helping others—and sees music as a conduit that brings people together and helps them become more engaged. “I love politically charged, heavy music,” Strombo says. “I love when music uses its energy to fight for others and help its own audience to learn and grow.” As host of STROMBO on Apple Music Hits, Strombo brings over three decades of music knowledge and on-the-mic experience—whether working at a pirate radio station in the ’90s, discovering underground talent on MuchMusic’s The NewMusic in the early 2000s, holding down The Strombo Show on CBC Music, or, more recently, welcoming us into his House of Strombo for intimate live sessions with some of the world’s most storied performers. On his namesake Apple Music Hits show, he hopes to continue to bridge the gap between artist and listener. “One of the things the show leans into is making connections between the artist you know and love and the artists that they know and love,” he says. “[It’s] strong storytelling underscoring why this music matters.” Join him on Apple Music Hits Monday through Thursday and Sunday, when he brings great music, personal stories, and artist interviews to STROMBO Radio.

George literally rocks. Love his perspectives and he mashes up some great themes and genres of music. Always entertaining. Have added a lot of tunes to my playlists listening to Strombo. As a fellow Canuck, he is the best.

Canadian tax funded pseudo-celebrity. If our taxes fund it it can’t stand alone including and especially this George guy.

I absolutely love listening to the show and they look forward to it. I exercise to it. I cycle to it. I walk to it and I save it for my evening personal time depending on when the next episode is available. I love this show and I look forward to it every time it comes out.
