Producing, listening to, checkin' out, promoting, playing, researching and gaining greater knowledge about . . . wait for it . . . MUSIC!!! Right now I'm all about making my business partnership Soul on Ice Productions become a force to be reckoned with in the Canadian soul music industry. During my downtime, it's all about challenging my 2 boys to a game of FIFA on the PS2 or football in the local park.I host the Soul On Ice Radio Show. If you're in the UK, you can hear it on satellite radio (Solar Radio Sky Digital Channel 129). Soul luminaries such as Junior Giscombe, Barrie King, Dez Parkes, Kev Hill and Tony Monson are on there as well. Worldwide you can catch the show on Solar's url (www.solarradio.com) or on Canada's top internet underground beat music site Soul Stream (www.soulstreamnetworks.com). Soul Stream has crews like 83 West, Layers and Soulutions as well as prominent deejays like Vic Underground Vibe, DJ J-ME, Gene King and Martino. Keeping company like this has forced me to step my game up so I'm always on the lookout for an artist whose cause needs championing or a new chune that needs breaking (hint, hint to all you artists, managers and producers out there).test
I'd like to meet:
Folks involved in shedding light on music and artists who they feel are worthy of more exposure than they're currently receiving. Naturally, I'd love to hear from artists that feel that exact same way about themselves. My preference is Canadian music with soul at its roots but I am open to learning more about almost any type of music out there.
