Breaking Wreckords was formed in 2012 with the collaboration of Ryan Innes and Kelly Maloney. Since he was young, Ryan Innes has been passionate about creating new, innovative music across various aspects within his community. Kelly Maloney has grown up with a focus on live hip-hop performances and creating new outlets for upcoming artists. Eventually, Ryan Innes studied Audio Production and Engin

Kelly and Ryan quickly collaborated based on their common skills and outlook on the music industry as a whole. The duo agreed on the need of hip-hop in the GTA, and has decided to focus on the needs for the Canadian music culture.
