The OBGMs & Clairmont The Second Polaris 2021 Nominated!

My band The OBGMs have been nominated for a Polaris Prize!
My brother, client and collaborator Clairmont The Second has also been nominated for the 4th time!

Very cool. A family affair. Being that I was involved in both, looks like I shot 2 for 2. Great odds.

Thank you Polaris!

I usually don’t dig the awards thing; for those who are in the industry, there’s a ton of politics, and even when the numbers are there, there’s a ton of favours to be owed, payola, scratching backs, etc. that can’t be competed with.

Polaris operates on artistic merit. That’s what I’ve always dug about them.

It’s cool to be recognized. Thanks you.

9 FILMS ABOUT TECHNOLOGY

SUPER EXCITED to be a small part of this INCREDIBLE new series on CakeFX (FXX Thursdays at 10PM). I produced the music for the series title sequence seen above. Clairmont The Second's music production can also be found in a few episodes!

NINE FILMS ABOUT TECHNOLOGY is an incredible series that follows our relationships with technology in the modern world. An incredible black comedy that’s worthy of all the awards, mark my words…

The biggest thank you to Peter Huang, Evan Landry, Jonathan Keltz and the whole Nine Films team that had us be part.

The OBGMs are now The Billboard Boys

To think… I went from tagging billboards as a teenager to being on one with my band. Strange how motivations change over time. Really proud of my band. Watch our performance for Wavelength’s #Kuumba fest HERE

Black Canadian Music Awards (SOCAN Foundation)

Here’s some AD/design work that I had the pleasure of doing last year for SOCAN Foundation. I want to personally thank both Charlie Wall-Andrews and the SOCAN team for having me design the brand for this wonderful initiative.

And of course, a big congrats to Hunnah, Dylan Sinclair, RAAHiiM, Naya Ali and TOBi! Encouraging all of you to go check out and support their music!

I’m woking on posting more of my design work, so stay tuned.
