Piper Greenbaum interviews rapper, singer/songwriter and activist Eze Jackson, a staple in the Baltimore Music Scene for over  15 years. As frontman of the band Soul Cannon as well as a solo artist,  he brings high energy and authentic Baltimore to any performance.  Jackson is also CEO of newly established Indie Label “EPIC  FAM”.

Marc  Cary has been a leader in jazz for decades. As a band leader he’s  released over ten albums pushing boundaries in jazz. He’s worked with  legends like Betty Carter, Abbey Lincoln, Dizzy Gillespie, and Wynton  Marsalis. He’s performed and recorded with modern chanteuses like  Ndegeocello, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill and Ani Di Franco.

Tinku Bhattacharyya is a powerful advocate for artist rights management  with a PhD from Glasgow University. Raised in Scotland, Tinku rose  quickly in artist management in Glasgow and London. In addition to  managing her husband Marc’s career, she’s currently the manager for  legendary saxophonist Gary Bartz. She’s overseen the careers of dozens  of artists including Grammy nominated group KING, Shuggie Otis, Amp  Fiddler, and Incognito. She speaks passionately about how artists can  navigate through the current music business world by controlling their  metadata and understanding mechanical licensing.

Every musician needs to hear what Tinku has to say. Find out more about her agency Intrinsic Artists on their website: www.intrinsicartists.com.

Marc and Tinku moved to Baltimore a  few months ago to get away from the pandemic in New York. Together they  make the ultimate music power couple. Smarts and talents to spare. This  is a conversation with something for everyone on the scene.

Letitia VanSant’s lyrics are as personal as they are political, tracing questions of power into the human heart. With sparse indie folk arrangements fortifying a distinctly intimate vocal style, her down-to-earth stage presence has been described as vibrant and approachable. Paste Magazine named her among 10 Artists to Watch in 2020, BBC Radio says she is “a fascinating new artist,” and PopMatters called her “a consummate reflection of a rising Americana star.”



Her latest release, Circadian, is available on Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music and more.

For Episode 10, Host Piper Greenbaum interviews sound engineer and music producer Wendel Patrick.

Wendel  Patrick has been referred to as "David Foster Wallace reincarnated as a sound engineer" by Urbanite Magazine and as "wildly talented" by the  Baltimore Sun. He has been referred to by XLR8R magazine as "a hip-hop  producer that could easily make any fan of Squarepusher, Boards of  Canada, or Madlib flip out." The alter-ego of classical and jazz pianist  Kevin Gift, Wendel Patrick is rapidly making a name for himself as a  producer to be recognized. His five albums, Sound:, Forthcoming, JDWP, Passage, and Travel were all produced without the use of sampling, with Patrick playing  every note of every instrument. What is perhaps most astounding and  perplexing to listeners is that there are actually no instruments...he  crafts all of the instruments, and every note, electronically.
