Gotta give a nice shoutout to @mastercardca for sending me and wifey to a Raptor game in style… and what a spread in the box! Glad we were able to spend that #priceless moment together and we got the W, in a much needed game vs Cleveland.

Yoooo! This Saturday, ADVANCE, Canada's Black Music Business Collective approached me about speaking at their inaugural ‘Music Industry Virtual Career Expo.’ The lineup looks dope so if you, or if you know someone interested in becoming a music business professional, check it out. To sign up and for more info, go to - www.advancemusic.org • ADVANCE is focused on improving the outcomes of young Black professionals by exposing them to information about careers in the music industry. We are interested in ensuring that students and parents understand the possibilities in this field, by educating them on the viability and sustainability of job opportunities in this sector. This is also a perfect time for students to network and be around other like minded individuals who are looking to pursue a successful career in the music business. https://www.instagram.com/p/CVUqDHYLjXQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Whoa! Wasn’t expecting this, but thanks to the team @JAZZFM91, it became a reality. We were awarded a finalist in the Social Justice Promotion category at the New York Festival Radio Awards. Shouts to @jdevenish62 for the incredible work he puts in alongside #GlennCrosse. Our 11-Black History Month vignettes were recognized internationally. Most importantly though was that we got to share the achievements of these amazing people/icons.

How’s this for a Monday? Got a chance to meet ‘the man’ today, the legendary Harry Connick Jr, who happened to stop by the station this afternoon. Couldn’t let him slide out without catching the moment. I dj’d my first big jazz concert a couple months back and ran a ton of his tunes to absolutely set it off! I could tell he was ‘man dem’ from the jump, our convo, and when I pointed my finger at him, he laughed and did the exact same thing. This guy is the embodiment of cool @harryconnickjr Thanks to @admfbl & @tdot_jazzcat #nextlevel #jazz #harryconnickjr #bigband #swing #actor (at JAZZ.FM91) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dUP03lS03/?igshid=19py8ydxomaws

I just watched the @koolboblove doc #RockRubber45s and came out of the theatre feeling inspired. Then getting the chance to chop it up with the homey was a surprise. Duke has always found a way to work on his passion... make that passions. . From ball, to shoes, to music! . Continued success my G! I think it’s your energy that inspired many others like myself. You’re a strong dude, pretty sure I couldn’t forgive like you have which is a testament to the person you are. #ContinuedBlessings . Shouts to @rdotchung for the assist & @mastermindlive for the convo. First time I’ve ever gone to a theatre by myself, lol 😂 (at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema)

Today ends a chapter... it’s bittersweet! I have officially closed the book with my @G987FM family, after 6+ years! To take it back to 2011, this opportunity truly was a dream come true. I worked soooo hard up to that point and made many sacrifices just for a shot at something like this. It meant so much to me! While there, I got to meet so many incredible people. I got to put my finger on the pulse of our city Toronto, and literally felt it breathe. I got to understand why this station meant so much and why it was so important. I got to see where we could do better for our community, and will tell you I always fought for it. I got to see people embrace our culture in ways I hadn’t seen before. It was pretty awesome having a hand in that. The listeners, clients, and fans were always memorable (I have stories for days) but it was my coworkers that gave it a special meaning to me. It’s a trip having a job/career, that almost never felt like work. It was far from perfect, but I knew I was truly blessed. I remember staying late on Friday nights just working non-stop with a few key players. The excitement of each day and the responsibility we had always weighed heavily on our shoulders. Fast forward to today, the station has definitely evolved, but not without some cuts and bruises along the way. Media overall in Canada right now isn’t the same as it was years ago (and I’m barely talking years ago). In closing, I want to thank everyone that has been a part of this journey with me. From the personalities, promotions, creative, new media, music, production, sales, traffic, news departments, and management. All the best moving forward:) Oh and in case you’re wondering, I’ve got a new opportunity within the radio industry in Toronto. Stay tuned! #LastDay #G987 #Promotions #Radio #NewBeginning #BitterSweet #Respect #Professional #Humility #Forward

I haven’t sat down and done the boards at any station for an interview since my college days, but TODAY was THE DAY! Always glad to help out my fav people #MarkAndJem. Plus a big shoutout to my man @perionprince for the quick refresher & @mclinx for the support. . ‘Push the red button!’ . . ‘Where’s the red button?’. . . ‘The Red One on the screen, we’re LIVE Dave’. . . ‘Oh the RECORD button. That makes sense!’. . . Did I mention they were interviewing Reggae Star @itsthetifa today. Maybe that’s why I couldn’t focus... lol! Whoooooo ooooooooo;) (at G987fm)

Had a blast on Friday at Toronto's Festival of Beer where @methodmanofficial & @redmangilla absolutely destroyed the stage. But seeing @officialbiggsoxx @choclairofficial @rodolla @deejaynana, well that was the icing on the cake! Shouts to all the people I saw, cheers with, hugged, and drank with. If you've never been before, trust me you're missing out. I wish every concert i go to is hyped like that! Oh and before I forget, people had dope shirts there, but the best one was an #AlBundy #PolkHigh #FootballJersey - The guy who wore that, wins in life overall! Gotta get me one of those!!! #TorontosFestivalOfBeer #Beerfest #Beerfam @tobeerfestival (at Toronto's Festival of Beer (Official))
