I Love Music

Tracy Morgan

Actor

Growing up in the hood surrounded by a lot of poverty, music was one of the only things that made people feel good. That's why we need music and arts. We've got to put instruments in young people's hands because that's the kind of thing that really touches the soul.

Meeting Tad Doyle Makes Life on the Road Better

Danko Jones

Musician

Much has been made of life on the road. One of the things that keeps the craziness at bay, at least for me, are the fleeting but memorable moments that happen every once in a while on tour; the kind of moments that stay with you for a lifetime. Interviewing Tad Doyle for my podcast was something else.

I'm Trans, I Get Bullied, I'm Fighting Back

Lucas Silveira

Musician

I was repetitively asked "Are you a boy or a girl?" throughout childhood and adolescence and usually followed by "Fucking dyke!" Very recently, all of these wounds resurfaced when I saw this comment left by a woman on a video I posted on Facebook to raise funding for a tour for my band The Cliks. Don't shame me for speaking up for myself. Shame those who hurt me.

Melanie Fiona on Why Art Is Power

Che Kothari

Photographer & Community Instigator

She recently headlined a show at the Phoenix where she blew the audience away with her inspired performance. Though some folks say it's hard to define her style, there's one thing that couldn't be clearer: she was born to sing and she is fulfilling her destiny.

The Album That Changed Our World

Tommie Sunshine

DJ, Producer and Artist

To make something so beautiful out of the chaos of our world is rare. I'm in awe of this album and not afraid to say so. I remember what my life was like before this album and can only dream of what its going to be like after.

Idol's Future Looks Bleak, At Least We Have Candice Glover

Jackée Harry

Actress, Sister, Sister

Okay, I, admittedly, haven't been a (loyal) American Idol viewer since the adroit Carrie Underwood went all the way during season four.

Frank Sinatra: The Soundtrack of My Life

Sharon Greenthal

Blogger, Empty House, Full Mind. Co-founder, GenerationFabulous.com

From "Young at Heart" to "The Way You Look Tonight," "Love and Marriage" to "My Funny Valentine," there was a song for every mood, every time of day, every event. I, like a million girls before me and a million since, fell in love with Sinatra through his voice, and what a voice it is.

The Case of the Missing Beyonce Single

DJ Louie XIV

To crack this case, we have to go all the way back to late January of this year, when SuperStorm Beyonce once again made devastating landfall on the coastlines of our collective consciousness.

Making It In Music: It's Who You Know

Daniela Oliva

Indie Music Aficionado

You start with one person. And if you can get one person to really like you and your band, I mean gushhhh over you like a 13-year-old over One Direction, then, one fan will become two, two will become three, three will become four. So chill out, take off the sunglasses, and hang with your fans.

Why I Wrote a Rap Song With My Mother

Abdominal

Toronto-based hip-hop artist

So, I wrote a rap song with my mom. Before we even set pen to paper, my mom began expressing some doubts about the whole endeavor. She was fearful that, never having done such a thing, she wouldn't be able to write a rap song.

A Letter to the Girl Who Gave Danny Brown Oral Sex On Stage

Courtney Garcia

Entertainment & Culture Writer

Dear Girl Who Gave Danny Brown Oral Sex On Stage. I wanted to reach out because I was a little concerned. What worried me is that it appears you weren't aware of your options. Let me break it down for you.

These Wilder Things: Ruth Moody Goes Dancing in the Dark With Springsteen, Knopfler

Michael Bialas

Entertainment and sports journalist

Bruce Springsteen and Mark Knopfler have influenced tons of artists over the years, but a sweet-sounding soprano who's co-founder of the charming Canadian trinity known as the Wailin' Jennys wouldn't be the first to come to mind.

So What if Gwen Stefani Forgot the Lyrics to 'Wild Horses'?

Danko Jones

Musician

Gwen, don't listen to the naysayers. They're just jealous. Hell, I'm even jealous of you. You sang with The Stones and you looked great doing it, if I do say so myself. Nobody, even wild horses, as hard as they might try, can take that away from you.

"Then I Got the Call"

Laila Biali

Jazz Pianist, Vocalist, and Songwriter

This was my big dream -- to work with Sting. I experienced first-hand his brilliance and his unique ability to draw out the best in those around him. He took care of his body and his instrument. No matter what the situation, he was always prepared, and he expected the same of us.

How to Embrace Every Moment of Motherhood

Chantal Kreviazuk

Canadian singer and songwriter

We're human, so we do need validation sometimes, but there are no trophies for being a mom. The job is selfless, but if we dig deep, we will see that the great reward is finding the strength and beauty we never knew existed inside of us, one moment at a time.

Stompin' Tom -- World's Best Travel Writer Moves On

Cleo Paskal

Associate Fellow, Royal Institute of International Affairs

His songs are funny without being cruel. Proud but not prejudiced. Honest but gentle. They are what Canada wishes it could be (they assign Stompin' Tom songs at school). But, above all, they are great travel writing from a great traveller.
