Studio Session: Brother J starts recording for his RnB Mixtape (Coming Soon)

Prepping and setting up always takes about 10 minutes depending on whose recording that day, and today was no exception, standards and settings always need re-adjusting and a Mic-Check is usually how you start things off...





This is just a clip of some footage taken during one of our breaks; Jeromy Robinson (otherwise known as Brother J) was still singing his ass off lol and I thought heh why not show yall a clip of what it's like in my STUDIO WORLD! It's always jokes...

I AM IN DEMAND.COM: Sean Getti Photo shoot (behind the scenes, with Sep & Brother J)

Via: Photographer Sean Getti



I AM IN DEMAND.COM was in full force today, doing artist development with Brother J (formally of R&B Group TBTBT back in 1993, a Juno Award Winner) who is now working on what will be his newest material to date. Our photo shoot was with photographer Sean Getti and we spent the day shooting at several locations both indoors and outdoors.





Brother J (a singer) is a re-emerging artist whose flight plan of action is totally different from that of Sep (a rapper), working with Sep (pictured below) is like working from an entirely new slate; his work is yet to be known to the world and therefore my efforts with him is all the more a challenge. We shot at various locations with Sep, and I really ended up feeling like we got a good result. Working with Sean Getti was a fluid and professional experience, I'd work with him again.

Canadian Pioneering in the Hip Hop Scene: TBTBT (Too Bad To Be True)

TBTBT - One Track Mind (CD Single) (Cold Chillin') (1993)

Toronto has made an imprint on the world with artists like Drake and Kardinal Offishall, but Toronto has a long tradition of pioneering artists who helped pave a little path for other's to follow. They're were others like TBTBT (Too bad to be True) on the Canadian musical scene; the Canadian arm of an American Iconic Rap Movement called "Cold Chillen" back in the 90's. Aww the 90's...they bring back some memories right? Well don't you ever wonder where these cats are now?

One of the group's members from TBTBT grew up (and his name is 'Brother J') and his singing was featured on the hook of this Toronto Rap City favorite for awhile, arguably making this song (in the clip below) one of Point Blank's more popular songs at the time. I recently caught up with him (and he was age 13 back in 1993). We've spent a lot of time since...talking about the streets of his native Toronto, his current music and about him wanting to take a more assertive and active role in the way music is being represented from out of Canada, I guess we'll see what happens.
