Maestro turns his TEDxTalks presentation into a straight up show with performances of “Stick to Your Vision” and “Let Your Backbone Slide”.
The fifth annual TEDxToronto conference took place on September 26, 2013 at The Royal Conservatory of Music.
For our 2013 TEDxToronto Conference, all talks, performances and demos were rooted in our selected theme, “The Choices We Make.”
About the Speaker:
Celebrating his 25th anniversary in the music industry, “Maestro” Fresh Wes Williams is one of Canada’s most successful and influential Hip Hop artists and premier multi-media personalities. His signature song “Let Your Backbone Slide” was the first Canadian Hip Hop single to ever go gold. Wes stars as a high school teacher on CBCs hit show, “Mr. D.” Wes is also the author of the critically-acclaimed book, “Stick To Your Vision.” His new album and collaboration project ‘Orchestrated Noise’ was released in Spring 2013.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

pHoenix gets a dope look via Sean Armstrong’s latest single that also features Souls Of Mischief member Tajai.
Kinda feel like if they’d given her more than a hook to rock over theyd’ve been using her to her full potential tho.
“Took Control” is the lead single from Sean Armstrong’s debut album, Marble Cake Diaries. The song and video features Tajai from Souls of Mischief and pHoenix Pagliacci with production from !llmind. The video was directed, shot & edited by E Major. @djfacemusic

Zaki Ibrahim
2013 has seen R&B turned on its head with artist returning to the genres roots, as well as pushing the boundaries even further than before, and Zaki Ibrahim is Canadas answer to it. Drawing from Sade, Radiohead, Stevie Wonder, and J. Dilla as inspiration, her debut full-length album, Every Opposite, has an apocalyptic allure that makes it impossible to forget. The album was nominated for and part of the shortlist for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize. She is no stranger to awards, having been nominated for a Juno for her 2009 EP Eclectica: Episodes in Purple. Her live performance is highly energetic and captivating, with a mix of sonics and visuals that transports the listener to the center of Zakis universe.
