The 3-Bus Grind, “Unforgotten,” and Building an Edmonton Sound: Karisse G

In this episode, I sit down with Karisse G to talk about his journey as an Edmonton artist—how writing started for him on a family trip to Jamaica in 10th grade, how he linked up with producer Taylor, and what it really takes to build momentum in music.Karisse breaks down the behind-the-scenes reality most people never see: the COVID-era daily grind (including taking three buses just to get to sessions), dropping his project “Unforgotten” and landing his first manager, and why a song might take 2–3 hours to make… but a proper release rollout takes a month.We also get into release strategy, visuals, playlists, and how he’s planning to stay consistent this year—plus where new listeners should start if they’re hearing Karisse for the first time.👇 Where to start with Karisse G: “Established 23” (then work your way down).#SoloSpotlight #SpareBedroomStudios #EdmontonMusic #KarisseG #CanadianHipHop #IndependentArtist #MusicIndustry #ArtistInterview #Podcast #YEG
