For the Most Part

The episode we have ALL been waiting for! This week we have a chat with Mr. Ible (Kemi's Dad) and Uncle "Berry" about samples. We call them "walking hard drives of musical knowledge". The reason being is that they were Dj's (Disc Jockeys) throughout the early 70's, dealing with Vinyls, storing your library of knowledge in your mind, and the use of a Korg Sampler. In order to understand where songs like Latto's Big Energy, Mariah's Fantasy, and even down to other well known artists such as Chris Brown, it is critical to understand how impactful the 70's era and electronic music was on the industry. 

The discussion also extended outward to the bounds of creativity, and using samples strictly for creative purposes and what cost it may have to the owners. 

What other popular songs do you think were sampled? What song have you heard recently triggered a familiar musical memory? Drop a comment and stay TUNED for Part 2, as we drop some other bombshells about Sampling!

By now, we know that every February around this time, we celebrate the birthday of our founder and host. This time around, we are celebrating two weeks of birthday energy with her! We surprised her with sweet sounds of the LEGENDARY Shannon Francois. It was a lovely wait to begin the pre-birthday pump. Thank you to our resident writer and co host for stringing all of this together in a matter of days, reaching out to some of Kemi's closest friends, to perform just a few of her favourites. 

As its the week before her birthday, we decided to split the surprises...so stay tuned for next week's stellar performances as well as surprises for our host! Kemi has made one singular wish this year, and that is she wishes that we all do our part and support the rising acts.

Vocal care is often something that goes missed by up and rising practitioners in the industry. In one of our previous episodes, we did a brief overview as to things that may cause vocal change and damage, as well as pointed to some of the most prominent vocals and their individual evolutions over time. In order to understand in more detail what causes the voice the age or change, we invited triple threat, Ms. Cherysh La Touche, performer/ actress, singer, dancer, a graduate of the University of the West Indies as well as current member of the Tobago Performing Arts Company, to enlighten us further and to provide some tips surrounding performance.

Today's discussion is about masters ownership. What does that even mean? The term "master" is a shortened way of referring to a track's master (or original) recording. In the music industry, masters ownership refers to the person or entity with exclusive rights to monetize a song. By monetize, we mean the ability to release it at all - on streaming platforms, the radio, or movie soundtracks. 

Music is probably the most consumed media in the world. Even though songwriters can claim certain creative rights, profits go to those who own the rights to a song. Imagine this: a track costs $0.99 and attracts millions of purchases. The company or individual with its ownership rights is in to collect a fat cheque afterwards, yes? 

What does masters ownership mean for today's artists? We'll be discussing some famous powerhouses who found themselves without full rights to their music and eventually gained these rights. We'll also discuss the value of these rights, both artistically and financially.
