Canadian Living Advice from Quartz Co.

Winter Diaries | Olivia Leblanc

Winter Diaries | Tamy Emma Pepin

Over the past year, Tamy Emma Pepin have been partnering with Quartz Co. on developing Quartz’s Winter Diaries. Whether relaxing with Dave MacMillan, entering High Klassified’s basement bunker or skipping town with Ludivine Reding, Winter Diaries pays homage to our singular and unavoidable nordic climate. We joined Tamy for a cup of tea to ask her a few questions about winter, creativity and the collaboration with Quartz Co.

Winter Diaries | Shayd Johnson

As an editorial and commercial photographer, Shayd Johnson has flown to the top of the Monashee Mountains, storm watched by the ocean in Ucluelet and participated in sacred First Nations ceremonies in Northern Vancouver Island. He took time to chat with our team to give us some insight on what drives him as both an artist and an environmentalist.

Winter Diaries | Max Mackee

Mackee was born in Japan and spent his younger years in some of the world’s biggest cities – Tokyo, Paris, London. As he reached adulthood, he became a lawyer and a DJ – a lifestyle that saw him hopping from boardrooms to dance floors. He eventually left law and returned to Japan with a freshly earned MBA. Whereas his past career had been lined with dissonance, Mackee envisioned a life that reconciled business, creativity and a dose of fresh air.

Winter Diaries | High Klassified

At just 25, Quebec-based producer, High Klassified, already has an amazing career after working with Mick Jenkins, Zach Zoya, Future and The Weeknd. The Quartz Co. team met with him in Laval (a city he cherishes and propels by his work) to better understand his creative process.

Winter Diaries | Ace Tee

Ace Tee is the German-Ghanaian artist whose smooth flow and eclectic aesthetic shook the internet back in 2017 when her single ‘Bist du down?’ accumulated millions of views on YouTube and sparked chatter across the globe. She recently took a break from life on the road to give us some candid insight into how winter is a time for her to create and to fully embrace her ‘Sip slow’ philosophy.
