Thank you for taking the time to have this interview with IMAAI.
Tell us about your music.
Alternative Indigenous Experimental Influenced
with cover song elements like Blues & Rock & soul.
When did you start performing?
I started Acapella performance July 2009 then started performing monthly
showcases with other organizations within community events in Manitoba.
Back in 2010 was the year I really went forwards with my musical work,
up until around 2015 but wasn’t thriving with the small hometown vibes.
I took a five year break and then the pandemic hit before one showcase
with Raw Artists, It was the spring of 2020, so since I’ve been waiting.
What do you consider to be your hometown and how does that affect your music?
Manitoba, It adds my spiritual identity within indigenous lifestyles.
What performers have been your inspiration?
Michael Jackson & Axl Rose because they are both “controversial”
I always love big souls who seem larger than life itself honestly.
some of my own life has been similar like how they survived trauma’s
My persona is inspired from “unrequited love” like the song “estranged”.
What do you base your success on?
Despite my unhinged sensitivity my ambition & my devotion togo forwards.
What was your latest musical release?
Nothing momentarily just cover songs & an overdue hiatus
Do you have any news to share?
I have some lawsuits across Canada which will help change the world.
