Torrin Staples and Brenda Mcknight met about four years ago in the local music scene, they have become good friends over the past couple years bonding over a love of the same music, and a passion for playing it. After a few jams and shared shows, they decided to form a Duo in March 2023 called “Metamorphosis.”

He is currently in two other projects, and teaches guitar part time.
Brenda is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist from Saskatoon, Sk. She has written poetry, songs, and played music over the years as much as was possible while raising/caring for her family. Brenda started finding more time and freedom to focus on her music in 2019. She has played solo, and in various projects, and is a member of “Rhythm Agogo,” a world percussion group, as well as two other projects. Brenda is a member of the SOC and RWG. She has participated in collabs, co-writes, workshops, seminars, and camps. She has two original demos recorded.
“Metamorphosis” was aptly named as Torrin and Brenda are both going through life and musical changes. They are enthusiastic, committed, and motivated, and have played numerous shows since March 2023. They have co-written three songs to date, with plans of continuing to write and perform. Torrin and Brenda are excited to start recording together with plans to release several singles, and an EP in 2025.
