One of a series of short pieces on the Unity Charity that I produced for my 9-5 at MTV Canada.
To celebrate the annual Unity Festival in support of young artists, MTV has teamed up with the charity to bring you the stories of four individuals that have found a way to express themselves through their art.
First we introduced you to Jane, an 18 year old B-Girl/Musician who found peace in art while dealing with emotional family struggles. Now we’d like you to meet Jessey, officially Jessey ‘Phade’ Pacho, a graffiti artist who recognizes the importance of community building through graffiti art.
Hear Jessey’s story below and check back for more Unity profiles in the week’s to come and don’t miss the 2014 Unity Festival happening in Toronto July 23-26!

Raz reminds us why he’s still one of the dopest to come out of the Mega in a bit.
New music off “The Screwface Tape.” Dropping this month. Raz Fresco links up with ChillxWill over this Yung Rave production to bring back that classic east-coast Hip-Hop feel.
The 19-year old MC and producer, from Toronto, Canada, has brought on Duck Down Music to provide co-management, and distribution for his label, Black Light, which Raz owns with long time manager, Soze Brooks. Raz Fresco is prepping two mixtapes for the remainder of the year. ‘The Screwface Tape’ will be released in late July, followed by ‘Pablo Frescobar.’

After the success of her 2014 JUNO nominated “Gone,” Toronto singer-songwriter Melanie Durrant releases the intimate new single “Four Seasons” off her highly anticipated new project.
In “Four Seasons” Durrant teams up with veteran producer Allstar once again, who provides a throwback vintage sound to the singer’s distinct, mesmerizing and powerful voice. The single will be included on Durrant’s sophomore album, Anticipation, available this fall.
“Gone” was Durrant’s second single in as many years to be recognized by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences at the JUNO Awards. Her single, “Made For Love,” was nominated for the 2013 Reggae Recording of the Year while “Gone” was a nomination for 2014 R&B/Soul Recording of the Year.
With a track record for big singles and previous chart success, the new album is certainly the product of Anticipation.

As Elcee prepares for the July 23rd release of LeoSoul, he throws us a track that didn’t make the cut. The Berlioz produced track features vocals, and was inspired by AZ & Nas’ classic illmatic record “Life’s A Bitch“. Elcee gives a verse of perspective, filled with emotion. Vibe out to the passionate delivery over soothing production
