Quinn Mills & The Common Era

It’s been a wild two years for Quinn Mills & The Common Era. What started out as a response to a Kijiji ad has led singer-songwriter, guitarist Quinn Mills, drummer Chris Buysse and bassist Julian Guzman to having their debut self-titled album chart as high as the Top 5 on college radio stations in the United States. They played a nearly sold out show at the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto and performed at the Ontario Para Sport Games Opening Ceremony in Whitby, Ontario. QM & tCE have over 150 shows under their belt and have played other notable venues like the Silver Dollar Room in Toronto and The Music Hall in Oshawa. Their high energy, alternative rock with hints of R&B are infectious.

Quinn Mills & The Common Era’s newest song “Put Your Lead Foot Down (and drive through the dead end) is being released July 19, 2019 and is already getting rave reviews at shows. Their last single “Another Minute” just hit 70,000 streams on Spotify. Taking a break from recording their second album, Quinn Mills & The Common Era will be performing July 21, 2019 at YOUTH DAY Toronto 2019 in front of their biggest audience to date, an expected crowd of 40,000. From big dreams started with a single want-ad, Quinn Mills & The Common Era are hitting the global stage.

Being creative is at my core what makes me, me. I started off my career as a national touring artist that played in a country band. We played on average 180 shows a year for five years throughout the United States and Bahamas. In 2006 signed with a label in Nashville, released a few singles, got featured in some magazines (both national print magazines as well as online publications) and in 2013 my single “Stomp” was picked up and featured as The Pittsburgh Steelers game song. On November 17th 2013, one of my dreams came true as I sang The National Anthem and performed my single “Stomp” on the 50 yard line for a crowd of 50,000 plus people at Heinz Field for The Steelers vs Lions game.

While I was on the road touring in 2008 I started a digital marketing business to help other artists out called Nocturnal Music Group. I primarily focused on social campaigns for musicians and bands, driving traffic to their sites but quickly found myself getting into areas that did not involve music and also being contacted for web design as well.

I fell into photography by chance due to a client needing photos and no one being available to do it. After that I was hooked and have been shooting ever since. I’ve shot artists and bands, weddings and engagements, maternity and new borns, models, products and everything in between. I’ve also been featured in magazines both domestic and in 2020 I became an internationally published photographer.
