Who


Well here it is folks! I have been meaning to clear up this whole “He’s not truly British” business for a while and I think that this episode of KayvonTV will do just that. If I was not British, then why would I partake in a little pass time know as high tea?
This video also concludes our coverage (for now) of this years Canadian Music Week. What a great CMW it was folks, we caught up with Alanis, the Rza, KRS-ONE, Moby and so many other great people that my head hurts trying to remember them all.
Make sure you stay tuned to KayvonTV in the up-coming months as we will post more great interviews from CMW, including my interview with Will Strickland and my memorable encounter with Perez Hilton’s favorite new band, The Mission District.
So,Ta Ta for now, hope that you all enjoyed my trip through Canadian Music Week, and remember, I’M BRITISH BITCHES!!! –>


KayvonTV


It was a great honour and thrill to be in attendance at this years Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame induction to watch none other then Alanis Morisette accept her lifetime achievement award.
I had many questions to ask the great Alanis Morissette, I wanted to find out for myself if my favorite show from back in the day, “You Can’t Do This On Television”, might be poised for a comeback.
Congratulations Alanis, you have been a shining light for the Canadian music scene since your glam rock days, it was a pleasure to finally meet you. –>

Random


One of the most frustrating things in my live is the almost constant questions surrounding my heritage. Is his accent real? Could he really be from England?
During this years edition of Canadian Music Week, a random bloke, who I now know as Ajani Charles, of Ajani Photography, had to nerve to question my British accent.
I am very lucky that the KayvonTV powers that be documented the moment on tape, now surely all the people will spot the flaws in Ajani’s reasoning.
I am indeed British mate, me mom gave birth to me in the great city of Wimbledon, and quite frankly I am astonished that a gentleman such as yourself would ponder such an outlandish possibility.

It was a great start to Canadian Music Week with the kick-off party to celebrate the launch of CBC Radio 2. I had the chance to chat with Mr. Richard Stursberg - Executive Vice-President of CBC. I was a bit taken back when Mr. Stursberg had some not-so-nice things to say about his rival Canadian broadcasters (presumably CTV and Global) and how they don’t do the “honourable thing” and support Canadian programs - but instead look to buy up the foreign stuff. Ms. Jully Black provided the entertainment on the evening. What a great start to the music festival!

KayvonTV interviews Chic founder and super producer Nile Rodgers during Canadian Music Week 2007


Another edition of Canadian Music Week is just around the corner - and KayvonTV will be on the scene and reporting. Here’s an interview I did during last years music festival. What an honour and privilege it was to sit down with Mr. Nile Rodgers. From founding the seventies era disco band Chic to producing for Madonna and David Bowie - Nile Rodgers had made an indelible mark on pop music. He even had something to do with creating rap’s first hit record - Rapper’s Delight. Enjoy!
