Pop Music is a brand that was founded by Derek Antonio, a passionate music enthusiast. With a deep-rooted love for music, Derek spent his formative years in record stores and was captivated by Much Music and Top 40 radio. His journey eventually led him to become the General Manager of Toronto's renowned HMV Superstore.

However, with the evolving landscape of digital consumption, the Superstore faced challenges and eventually closed its doors. Undeterred by this setback, Derek turned his vision into reality and created Pop Music. This boutique vinyl shop offers a curated selection of the most popular and commercial albums, making it easy for fans to find what they're looking for.

Pop Music is not just a record store; it's an immersive experience aimed at engaging music enthusiasts and helping them discover trending releases. Pop Music embraces accessibility and revolutionizes the traditional record store model by exclusively offering new records, distinguishing itself from other stores in Canada. In addition to vinyl, the brand also features premium licensed music-related apparel and merchandise.

Every aspect of Pop Music is designed with the fans in mind, providing an exciting and well-merchandised space where they can indulge in their passion for music. Derek's extensive experience in the industry allowed him to curate a product offering that includes classics from every decade and genre, focusing on mainstream legacy artists. Furthermore, Pop Music collaborates with Audio-Technica, a trusted brand, to offer a range of turntables and vinyl care products.

This ensures that fans can not only expand their vinyl collection but also maintain it in excellent condition. Since its opening, Pop Music has captured the attention of both local press and music enthusiasts. It has been featured in prominent publications such as Now Magazine, blogTO, and even landed a cover story in The Toronto Star.

In 2019, Pop Music ventured into the eCommerce space, providing an online platform for fans to engage with the brand. As Pop Music continues to grow, Derek remains dedicated to enhancing the online experience for fans. He aims to make the store even more accessible and build a community that extends beyond the physical location.

With its passion for music and commitment to the fans, Pop Music is a brand that embodies the spirit of the music industry and invites fans to celebrate their love for music
