Brayden Lowery
With over 5 years of live event experience, Brayden has had the privilege and the pleasure to work on some of the largest festivals to come through Southern Ontario. Brayden studied and performed music throughout his childhood, culminating in a degree from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Out of school, Brayden started working with the Glenn Gould Foundation, and has continued working and volunteering with different non-profit organizations including the Toronto Children’s Chorus and Karma Cooperative in Toronto. He feels at home with the Plan V Family and is looking forward to what the next festival season will bring!
Matthew Lederman
Matthew brings over 20 years of live experience to the Plan V team. His past work as a production manager, technical director, audio engineer, tour manager, venue manager and musician has given him the ability to work on events from a number of perspectives. He has been integral as a member of the production team for the Montreal festivals Osheaga Music & Arts Festival, Heavy Montreal, 77 Festival, and IleSoniq. Since moving to Toronto in 2016, Matthew has been essential to productions such as Luminato Festival, Red Bull's 3 Days in Toronto, House Of Vans, Polaris Music Awards, and JFL42.
