Over time, I started interning at the station and became their go-to guy for interview research, questions and marketing.
#EMINEM SHOW YOUTUBE MAC#
He invited me to the studio the next day where I met Mac Miller and began helping with interview research and questions for an upcoming interview he had with Chance The Rapper. I asked him for advice and he told me to “say yes to everything.” I think he could see my hunger so he gave me a shot and actually gave me his number. Cruz, the morning show host at the time and radio legend.
I ended up waiting until all of the lights were off in the building, snuck by security and met J. I told myself I was going to meet someone from the radio station. The game was almost over by the time I got in there but for some reason I was called to stick around after the game. Within my first couple of months of living here, I scalped a ticket to a charity basketball game hosted by Power 106, the #1 Hip Hop radio station out here. So I got a scholarship to USC to study my Masters in strategic PR and marketing.

I felt called to post a video reply to his story and urged him to think about all of the possibilities of the future. One day, a classmate sent me a video link of this kid who posted a YouTube video called “Goodbye.” He couldn’t have been any older than 12 years old and wanted to end his life. I grew a local following and started doing shows. I had been making YouTube videos for fun but in 9th grade, I finally had the confidence to put out my own music online. Cole, Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean and more, I was inspired to want to express myself through music.
When I was 12 years old, I fell in love with Hip Hop but at 16 years old listening to the “Middle Child” generation of rappers like Kid Cudi, Drake, J. I was born in Winnipeg, Canada and always had dreams of creating something bigger. Hi Jeremy, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
