🚨 “Just two days after Live Nation’s settlement, @eventbrite CEO stepped down on March 11, 2026, creating a leadership vacuum at a critical moment. Eventbrite controls ~51% of the reservation/online booking market and serves the independent venues and creators that Ticketmaster ignores. In Canada, eventbrite.ca ranks as the third most-visited ticketing site, making it a key alternative for Canadian organizers . The DOJ settlement requires @ticketmaster to open its tech to competitors, meaning Eventbrite could finally get a foothold in larger venues.” 🎟️

I lived in K’jipuktuk / Halifax for close to a decade. In that time, I spent a lot of time working in; community organizing, community support work, program development, and radio. It was through this work that I first learned about African Nova Scotian history; knowledge that seemed entirely disconnected from any formal or informal education I had received up until that point. In 2022, on a sunny spring afternoon, as Producer on a team archiving the “Evolution of African Nova Scotian hip hop through community”. I had the honour of sitting down with Mr. Eddie Carvery to talk about what Africville felt and sounded like. I am so grateful for this opportunity. I am grateful for all of my time in Nova Scotia learning from, collaborating with, and witnessing African Nova Scotian history in real time. Mr. Eddie Carvery was born in Africville in 1946 and witnessed its demolition and violent displacement of his community firsthand . In 1970, he began what would become the longest-standing protest in Canadian history. For more than 50 years, Mr. Carvery lived in a trailer on the grounds of Africville Park, refusing to leave until justice was served This week, I was deeply saddened by the news of Mr. Eddie Carvery’s passing. My deepest condolences to the whole Carvery family and larger African Nova Scotian community. Long live the fight to restore Africville. ✊ Rest in power Mr. Eddie Carvery! 🖤 📸 dj5rivers - @wetsockx | Africville | Spring 2022 #africannovascotian #africville #canadianhistory #canadianheritagemoment #novascotia

🇨🇦 music scene has thrived on public funding, helping launch landmark albums and careers, but that safety net is fragile. 💳

With arts spending under scrutiny and institutions like the @betawards Hip Hop Awards being cut abroad, Canadian artists face a choice: stay dependent or build sustainable, independent models.

⚽️ “On platforms ruled by #algorithms and passive scrolling, a track can disappear as quickly as it appears. However a song placed in #FC26 is experienced in moments of #adrenaline, triumph, and immersion. An emotional imprint that results in fans #shazam it mid-match, stream it after, and weave it into the soundtrack of their own lives. This is why #sync has been so transformative.” 🌎 READ FULL ARTICLE on Pineapple Express Magazine- 🔗 in bio!

🇨🇦 won’t find its sound in spreadsheets and sync briefs, because it’s vibrating through basement studios in #Brampton and in backyards in #Scarborough, in home studios in #Halifax and jam sessions in #Calgary. We just need more people who know how to place it. READ FULL ARTICLE - 🔗 in bio #musicpublishing #musicsupervisors #writersguildofcanada #canadianmusicindustry #musicnews #canadianmusicnews
