Episode 5: Hip Hop is Political, our guest is Will E. Skandalz
Will E. Skandalz is a well-rounded entertainer with 20 plus years of on-stage experience. Born and raised on the Mohawk territory of Kahnawake which is minutes away from the city of Montreal, that’s where Will E. was influenced by the Hip Hop culture. Early successes include being a member of the group FBI Jedeyez, then later forming Beat Vandalz. Will E. was then signed as a solo act to BME Media Group which is a indie label based out of Thunder Bay, Ont. in which later he joined a label mate to create The Lyferz. The progression continued as Will E. then co - founded Music 4 Miracles. This is where becoming an event MC came into play. M4M is an annual music festival that raises money for young people facing life threatening illnesses and or other foundations that need a helping hand. In 2017 he released his debut solo album titled “Welcome to Will E. World” and it did just that with his masterful wordplay and storytelling abilities the album makes you feel like you’ve known him forever. Will E. also held two important seats in separate radio stations, k1037 in Kahnawake as the morning man and ckhq 101.7fm in Kanehsatake as a Saturday night speciality show called “Live from the pines”. In 2018, then handled one of the most gruelling tasks of his career. MCing, announcing and co hosting a radio show at the 1st annual Indigenous cannabis cup in Tyendinega. He then returned to the ICC for the 2nd annual in June of 2019. As you can see this is far from the end as Will E. continues to push forward with his microphone wizardry. 2019 proved to be Skandalz’ most successful year as far as touring goes. He managed to collect 78 bookings and the highlight was the Wake Up The World tour which brought him across France and Bretagne alongside Q052, Beat Vandalz, DJ Nokturn and DJ Digital Fire. Will E. then made his SiriusXM radio Debut in November on Indigenous People’s radio Ch. 165 with a track which he was featured on titled “Rez Ride Shines” alongside once again Q052. https://nikamowin.com/en/artist/will-e-skandalz
