  • "Everything comes in full circle." says Eugene, owner of Play De Record record shop in Toronto Chinatown, as he looks back in life and everything he has achieved when he turned his passion into business.
    Growing up in Trinidad, music was a huge part in Eugene's life. His passion for music inspired him to open up a record store. Eugene moved his store to downtown Chinatown in 2016, and the store remains a major destination for local DJs and music enthusiasts.
