Bad Bad Not Good? I remember listening to them on Sound Cloud
Yeah they were all students at Humber, in the Toronto area. Obviously all skilled musicians, but there's a drummer Larnell Lewis who's a student mentor there, my brother was lucky enough to have him, and while lesser known he's a drummer's drummer and insanely skilled. A "Mozart" of drums you could say. While he's successful and tours with Snarky Puppy and the like, it's not like he's a household name or anything. There's so much talent out there.
There’s tons of talent out there and that’s exactly why Mozarts are a thing of the past.
Music is so attainable to people [in the west], and that’s a great thing (not that it shouldn’t be more…I.e greater financing for the arts, especially in public K12). It’s so easy to access, learn, and record.
That, and the media market is so fragmented. We still have pop and chart-toppers in the major genres, sure…but man, there is so much stuff out there.
I don’t think there will be another Mozart. I don’t even think there will be another person we can compare to Michael Jackson, or Freddie Mercury, or Trent Reznor, or Whitney Houston, or any of the other modern legends. Simply because there are so many talented people and media, and the means to produce it, are so attainable.
One of my favorite things to do now is to find the bands “similar to” a band that I listen to or enjoy that have fewer than 1k subscriptions/followers. Even below 500. There’s so, so many hidden gems out there, and some of it may even redefine your own tastes in music.
