Haviah Mighty: I am the underdog experience

The Come Up Show

05/08/19 • 33 min

She was named in the top 15 Toronto Rappers you should know in 2019. I met Haviah mighty several years ago in London while she attended Fanshawe College. I still remember her guest appearance on our radio show in 2012, there was a caller who was listening to her performance and sat in his car parked in his driveway for a half an hour because he was blown away.

Haviah Mighty was raised in a musical household in Brampton, Ontario, Mighty started singing at the age of 4, rapping at 11, and producing at 15. She is well-known for being one of the three MCs who make up The Sorority. In 2018, Mighty’s track “Vámonos” appeared on HBO’s hit series, Insecure.

If you haven’t seen Haviah live show, she opened up for Maestro Fresh Wes in London for the Juno’s, and Maestro legitimately said he was nervous that she made him step his game up. It was a pleasure catching up with Haviah Mighty to talk about her career, the importance of having the time to find out who she is an artist.

TOBi: You have to ask yourself, why am I doing this?

The Come Up Show

03/14/19 • 53 min

My special guest today goes by the name of TOBi, who I’m humbled to have on The Come Up Show podcast. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation, it gave me life and clarity about TOBi's thought process, his insight and he's well read. As many prolific readers are, TOBi can spit them bars, you might have seen his freestyle battle against Tory Lanez go viral, which he feels was a lifetime ago.

In our conversation we talked about how you have to be comfortable with plateauing, there are going to be periods where you feel like there is no growth. During those times, you might feel disheartened, TOBi usually asks himself "Why am I doing this?" it's a great reminder of why he chose his path that I related with. There are a lot of gems in this interview that I know you'll enjoy.

TOBI is performing at our JUNOfest concert this Saturday, March 16 in London, Ontario. Get your tickets http://bit.ly/2Uwls0D

You are going to have to serve two masters when you have a hit

The Come Up Show

09/04/19 • 38 min

I'd like want to thank D.O. aka Duane Gibson and his team for another successful Northern Power Summit. From the educational panels and networking opportunities, there was a lot of informational gems, jewels, MAJOR KEYS (DJ Khaled voice). I moderated the Next Level panel featuring speakers Chris “Deep” Henderson and David “Click” Cox.

Seemingly since the beginning of time, the hit single has been elusive, yet a huge source of pride for artists. As the industry has moved from radio spins to YouTube views to Instagram “likes”, what makes a hit these days? This panel will discuss how to determine success and how artists can find it in today’s music economy.

Panellists biography
