Orit Shimoni Finds Renewal in ‘Over’

Orit Shimoni Finds Renewal in ‘Over’ A Road-Tested Songwriter Still Searching for Connection For more than two decades, Orit Shimoni has been on a search. Not for fame, fortune or easy recognition, but for the kind of genuine human connection that can only be found by staying close to the road, the room and the song. After years of moving between cities, countries and stages across Canada, Europe and the United States, Shimoni’s artistic identity remains rooted in consistency, sincerity and independence. Often placed under the broad umbrella of folk music, she also draws from soul, Motown, rock and protest traditions, carrying forward the enduring belief that … #Interviews #Canadianfolk #DanBern #FolkMusic #folkvideo #OritShimoni #Over #Singersongwriter #Winnipegalbum

Storyboard P Reemerges With "I Be A Fool'

Storyboard P Reemerges With "I Be A Fool' The Visionary Movement Artist Expands His Creative Universe It is not every day that an artist is described as the Basquiat of anything, let alone the Basquiat of street dance. Yet that is how The New York Times once framed the potentially indescribable Storyboard P, an artist whose movement, mythology, and creative reach have long resisted easy definition. For decades, Storyboard P has occupied a singular place in contemporary culture. Emerging from a turbulent Brooklyn upbringing, he carved out a language of movement that helped reshape the possibilities of Hip Hop tradition. His self-defined style, known as mutation, blends street dance, … #Interviews #Basquiatofstreetdance #HipHopculture #IBeAFool #Musicvideo #mutation #StoryboardP #StreetDance #TheNewYorkTimes

Jamecia Bennett and Tomme Beevas Build Community Through Pimento

Jamecia Bennett and Tomme Beevas Build Community Through Pimento When Jamecia Bennett and her business partner, Tomme Beevas, sat down with The Hype Magazine at their St. Paul, Minnesota, location, the conversation quickly became bigger than a restaurant story. It became a discussion about legacy, food as ministry, music as healing, and what it means to create a real safe space in a world that often talks about community more than it builds it. From Bennett’s GRAMMY-winning journey with Sounds of Blackness to Beevas’ mission to take “Brand Jamaica” global through Pimento Jamaican Kitchen, this interview opened a window into a partnership rooted in purpose.

Damion Hall Speaks on Cancer, God and Guy’s Legacy

Damion Hall Speaks on Cancer, God and Guy’s Legacy Damion Hall, Not a Standard ‘Guy’: Not a Standard Interview I have been doing this long enough to know when I am sitting across from something real. Not the polished, rehearsed kind of real that artists trot out during press runs. I mean the kind of real that makes you put your notebook down and simply listen. That is what happened when Damion Hall dropped into my session, initially to discuss his upcoming double-disc project “Perfect Designer,” and the conversation evolved. For years, the narrative around Guy has been written, debated, and reshaped by almost everyone except the man who helped … #LiveSessions #aaronhall #damionhall #Guy #Music #PerfectDesigner #TeddyRiley

Drea Dominique Builds Beyond Reality TV

Drea Dominique Builds Beyond Reality TV From Television Visibility to Musical Identity When I sat down with Drea Dominique, I knew we were getting more than just another artist interview. What I didn’t expect was how quickly the conversation would turn into something real, the kind of exchange where the guest answers your unasked questions before you even get to them. That’s Drea. She’s present, she’s honest, and she’s done being boxed in. Many fans first met Drea on Bad Girls Club season 9, but that chapter is long behind her. Today, she’s an artist, entrepreneur, and mother building a multifaceted brand through her family-owned indie label, … #LiveSessions #BadGirlsClubSeason9 #BlessedBeyondEntertainment #DreaDominique #FIFAFanFestMiami #FIFAFestMiami #LueViton #LueViton #RomanticTragedies

Noah Jesse Blends Jazz, Soul and Hip Hop Into a New Sound

Noah Jesse Blends Jazz, Soul and Hip Hop Into a New Sound A Young Musician With a Wide Creative Language Noah Jesse has a musical story that does not move in a straight line. It bends through jazz rooms, church choirs, Hip Hop rhythms, temple melodies, freestyle vocals, and the restless creative instincts of an artist who hears music as both language and lifeline. I got to sit with Noah Jesse to discuss his unique journey and philosophy, in my media experience, as a musician and as a music educator.
