Quinton Gardner (b. May 10, 1996), better known by his stage name Pressa, is a rapper from Toronto. He broke out into the underground Toronto scene with “Wass Gang” and his Press Machine mixtape. His status was further elevated in 2017 when Drake brought him to the UK to perform at his Boy Meets World Tour and with the release of “Canada Goose” featuring Tory Lanez. Meanwhile, he was involved with the law multiple times, including an attempted murder and a heavily publicized kidnapping of two teens.

Pressa would go on to drop two albums, Press a Brick and Prestige, the latter being the street name of his father who was incarcerated for the 1996 murder of a security guard. The following month after the release of Prestige, Pressa was cleared of his kidnapping charges, freeing him to cross the border into the US. He later moved to Los Angeles, California.

In May 2020, Pressa signed to Sony Entertainment Music in conjunction with his own label, Blue Feather Records. Shortly after, he released his Gardner Express EP and recruited some big names in the industry from all over the world including Sheff G and D-Block Europe.
