Without the CRTC laws, us Canadians would not be privy to hearing our nation’s incredible musicians. CBC Radio is one of the biggest advocates for Canadian artists, ensuring 50 per cent of their content is by Canadian artists. Yahoo!
I find it hard to find new artists to listen to. For those who know me, I can easily become obsessed with an artist or soundtrack, but sometimes rely on friends and family to suggest new music. My sister introduced me to Emma-Lee, a Toronto born native who has created such incredible, heartfelt music. One of her albums, Backseat Heroine, released in 2012 and recorded in Uxbridge, Ont., has become one of my favourite go-to albums.
Emma-Lee uses a wide variety of genre’s and instruments. She includes horns,and strings in a multitude of songs. This week, I am showcasing Emma-Lee’s song “Not Coming By,” one of my favourites on that album. Listen below! Her live rendition has her whistling in the place of the horns used on the track’s album-version.
Hello everyone. My name is Meaghan DeClerq and I am a freelance photographer. When I held my first camera I had an epiphany – I knew that photography would become a larger part of my life.
I graduated in 2013 from the Media Studies program, emphasizing in Image Arts, at the University of Guelph-Humber. Although I am not as talented as the other contributors when it comes to writing, I hope I can showcase my love of photography.
Those who know me know how much I adore food photography. No matter what food is on the table, I have to photograph it. It is important to note that when I say photograph, I mean moving plates around until I got the right lighting – leading to many cold dinners and angry family members.
Outside of my passion for food, I enjoy many styles of photography, particularly portraiture and commercial. Regardless of the style, what I love most is the creative freedom. Whether it’s being your own food stylist, picking a wardrobe or location, photography lets your work shine. I hope you view my work as what it is meant to be – creative freedom. Allowing the colours and textures to take you somewhere special and different from everyday imagery.
