311 is a simple, three-digit phone number residents, visitors and businesses can use to get information about City of Brampton services or programs, or make a request for service.

People who call 311 are occasionally placed on hold and as part of the Playback 311 program callers will hear recorded music from local artists while they're waiting to speak to a customer service associate.

Neil is an indie/alternative producer, composer, and singer-songwriter from Canada. When Neil was 10 years old, he had saved up his first $100 that he was ready to spend on toys at his local superstore. As he was ready to indulge, his father suggested that he ought to buy something that is immaterially priceless, over something of a day’s use. It was in that moment that his eyes became locked with beauty. He had become fixated upon a baby Yamaha acoustic guitar, that was conveniently priced at $100. When he reached his senior year in high school, it became time to find his vocation. Upon some self-reflection, he began to realize that the thing that seemed to matter most in his life was music. Thus, Neil’s journey into becoming a successful music producer, composer and singer-songwriter officially began.

After teasing with “the 1 + 2 ep” in 2017, Staasia Daniels releases her second major EP “Mood Roulette” to kick off 2018 with an array of emotions in love, lust, and other regrets. She is currently working on her next major EP, which will be out later this year.
