This September, MuchMusic gets schooled on homegrown talent when INTIMATE AND INTERACTIVE returns with two, all-new specials featuring multiplatinum superstar Tate McRae, and social media sensation Johnny Orlando, exclusively on @much.
Kicking things off with Tate McRae on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. ET, the Calgary-born viral music and dance sensation sits down with VJ Georgia Kolev for a feature interview and performance of her #1 multiplatinum-selling single, “you broke me first” and platinum hit, “she’s all i wanna be.” Then, on Thursday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. ET, fresh off the release of his most recent album, all the things that could go wrong, award-winning singer-songwriter Orlando chops it up with MuchMusic’s Teddy Tong and delivers an acoustic set of two new songs, ”someone will love you better” and “coping (1621).”
Both specials were shot in front of a live audience at MuchMusic’s all-new Queen St. W studio.
