ABOUT PHIL KLUBA

With a background in music, live events, media production, and technology, Phil Kluba — founder of Press It — has built a career on staying one step ahead of what’s next. Since launching Press It in 2014, he’s been at the forefront of online content, pioneering new ways for creators, brands, and audiences to connect. An active voice in Toronto’s vibrant music scene, Phil has spent years writing and performing songs, producing videos, and promoting concerts across North America. By blending that creative foundation with his passion for technology, he’s pushed the boundaries of media — from building AI-powered products to producing live and virtual events for leading brands and organizations — cementing his role, and his company’s place, at the forefront of innovation. A pivotal moment came in 2016, when Phil bet big on live-streamed events — long before they were mainstream. That bold move positioned Press It as a leader during the pandemic, producing large-scale remote shows like Isolation Nation with Michael Landsberg and National Canadian Film Day, featuring some of Canada’s most celebrated talent, such as Sandra Oh, Ethan Hawke, and Jay Baruchel. Today, Phil continues to blur the lines between entertainment and emerging technology — whether developing AI-driven media tools, building intelligent creative systems, or co-founding Tall Boy Water, a carbonated canned water brand redefining how beverage companies connect with communities. At his core, Phil is driven by one thing: creating what doesn’t exist yet — and proving that the future belongs to those bold enough to build it.
