1. Down to the Beat: Clairmont The Second

We're backstage at Manifesto Festival in Toronto for the second straight year, and we have a string of 4 episodes featuring artists that took Budweiser Stage dropping over the next month. To kick-off the Down to the Beat reboot, we're starting with a sit-down with Clairmont The Second, a Toronto-based artist that has been on our radar for years. We talk about his thoughts on artists hitting 'quotas' that aren't natural, his short film 'Full Circle', and how he puts concepts into his art. Listen to Clairmont The Second on Spotify, Apple Music or wherever you stream music. Watch our new spin-off show 'Down to the Beat' on YouTube here.
