@ellhah Especially looking at Black culture, & a lot of hip-hop culture. That’s why only 1 of mentors was white out of 10-15 people who were watching out for me. Says a LOT. One of my OG Black profs at music school even told me on king st one night, meetings being had about me at school.
@ellhah As a musician, I’ve luckily had lots. When I bought a venue, cuz I was a musician, I had more. And it was always ppl I really looked up to and respected a lot. They watched my hustle n saw my results in my community. So its love always. I wish ur side of the industry did it more.
@ellhah Yo this is huge work... I’ve been searching for all this music... so much key music listening... I’m doing some crazy archiving rn for a big project with the b-sides and I’m finding all the music from the US cities. UK is missing a lot of old stuff too though!
The Dirty B-Sides (@bmbpTO) are 3 years running as the house-band for #CBCSOTS
When I suggested to @CBCToronto that they use them in 2016, I had no idea that they would have them return for 2017 and now 2018. I won't speak of this again but I'm proud of this one.
