    Interview with Hashim Lafond

    By: Where It Begins

    Quote “People only know what you’re capable of after you’ve already done it. It’s not about proving anything to others but setting out to prove to myself that I can do anything I set my mind to.”

    Q. Tell everyone who Hashim Lafond is?

    A. Hashim Lafond is a father to five beautiful children, a husband to the sexiest women alive and I am creative. I’m looking to live out a life to accomplish all that is on my heart to do as a husband, a father and in all my artistic pursuits.

    Q. Tell us who inspired you to be the man you are today?

    A. My parents have been my biggest influence. My mother groomed my siblings and I to be artists. My father always told me that I can do anything I put my mind to. As a child, when it came to my artistry, he would give me feedback and encourage me to go back to the drawing board, which ultimately helped me to finesse my skills.

    Q. I see you were in “Ted 2” and the “Purge 3” how was that experience?

    A. They were amazing opportunities. More than an actor playing a role…behind the scenes, I was a student, watching everything, the cameras, the other actors, snapping photos of the equipment…I desired to learn the entire production process.

    Q. Is there anything you’d like to add?

    A. I’m honored to be featured here. I don’t take this for granted at all

    Interview with Kissa Jo

    By: Where It Begins

    Quote “I love to create so most of my hobbies are doing just that. I make dream catchers, waist beads, and paint but I’m most passionate about acting and producing shows and films.”

    Q. Tell us more about Kissa Jo?

    A. I am a goddess that believes my purpose is to spread love and healing through tantra, dancing, and music. I’m all about love and light and sharing my journey to complete self-love (my light and darkness) with those in need.

    Q. What or who influenced you to get into music?

    A. I’ve wanted to do music since I was a little girl. I think my biggest influences would have to be my 2 first loves: My daddy and Michael Jackson. My father has a beautiful voice and sings with a group in church. When I would hear or watch them perform, I would be In heaven.

    Q. Tell us about your EP (Therapy)?

    A. My EP Therapy is a kind of road map of my healing. From losing control and falling into temptation, in the first song Dangerous, to the last song Feels Like Love, where I finally love myself and can have a healthy love with others; therapy is a love story with myself.

    One last thing I would like to add in these times of uncertainty is to be gentle and loving with yourself and others. Love will always win. Breathe through it and know you’ll be ok.

  • Own Your Weirdness

    Own Your Weirdness

    Committing to authentically being who you are will not always be easy, it takes courage and heart to be who you were born to be. But you’ll have a lot more fun, and you’ll find your true place of belonging if you do.

  • Life Will Get Back To Normal

    Life Will Get Back To Normal

    When difficult times arise,remind yourself that life will go back to normal, even if it’s a new normal. Whatever you are experiencing will eventually pass. The truth doesn’t diminish what is happening, but it allows you to find the light at the end of the tunnel by recognizing that time will keep moving forward. And in time, you will be okay once again.

  • Interview with Introducing Ascended Man: Scott Howard

    Interview with Introducing Ascended Man: Scott Howard

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. Tell us more of who Scott Howard is?

    A. The Soul Spark known as Scott Howard is a 3D being on a journey of ascension to 5D. About 5 years ago, I went through an awakening of sorts. Source & my Angels felt it was time to take off the training wheels and enlightened me to what was behind the curtain of OZ. I thought I was going crazy, but I discovered that EVERYTHING IS ALIVE… even the air we breathe…we are NEVER alone. I guess I am what you would call a ‘lightworker’ for a lack of a better term. It was made clear to me that I was to bring a new genre of music to the world as it was in great need. This music is called ‘source music’ and is played at 432 Hz. I am one that has seen & been through a lot of pain being a Capricorn. We are the low man on the totem pole and do best at night (most musicians do!), My son Maxx was taken from me 2 years ago which devastated me. I locked myself in my studio for 2 weeks and wrote my next 2 albums. In general, I get very little sleep and write constantly. I feel the music is probably channeled from the Angelic realm. However, I was told by a well-known psychic that my spirit guides are Nickola Tesla and John Lennon…what better company? I guess that is why my new album “The Language of Clouds” would resonate with The Beatles Nickola Tesla enthusiasts given that my music is at 432 Hz which raises the frequency of the listeners. My vibration has gone up and I seem to be more psychic as I see things I have never seen before…some good and some bad… but all in all, I’m ready to help raise the frequency of the world.

    Q. What do you consider your best life experience or accomplishment?

    A. The birth of my two children: my son who is gone, Maxx, and my daughter Alyx, and meeting my soulmate and wife Debbie, and writing Source music in 432 that seems to resonate with the world.

    Q. Where do you see your career in the next 5 years?

    A. In the next five years I plan on extensively touring for both live performances and radio throughout the world. I will write, teach, heal, continue to learn from my angels, love my family, and live a fulfilling 5D life… perform and bring light to where there is darkness…Be light!

    Q. Is there anything else you’d like to add?

    A. What is happening in our world is all about good and evil and economics. The evil that has operated under the public’s general consciousness has stolen more than you can imagine but will reveal itself soon enough… then the healing will need to happen. As the atrocities and crimes are beyond comprehension, I hope my music in 432 Hz will help increase the hope and frequency for as many as possible. Let us be the driving force to bring heaven to earth…be light.

  • Interview with M.O. Littles

    Interview with M.O Littles

    By: Where It Begins

     

    Q. Tell us more about who M.O. Littles the Hip-Hop artist from Toronto is?

    A. I am a Toronto based, Hip-Hop artist who has been lucky enough to perform my music in over countries around the world. I’ve also had the opportunity to do shows and be on songs with the likes of Machine Gun Kelly, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Merkules, Madchild and Celph Titled & Apathy, to name a few.

    Q. What or who influenced you to get into music?

    A. The first time I heard Hip-Hop music was Maestro Fresh Wes’ “Drop the Needle” when I was 10 years old. That was a defining moment in my life and started me on a lifelong pursuit. I’ve had many influences throughout my years of making music, however, Tupac was the biggest during my formative years.

    Q. How is the music in Toronto different from the U.S. music?

    A. The music, itself, in Toronto isn’t all that much different than the U.S. because of the internet, we all get instant access to new music so things that are trending in the U.S., or anywhere else in the world, are simultaneously happening here as well. That being said, artists who aren’t necessarily following trends and creating music that is more based in their reality, can definitely come up with their own sound.

    Q. What are some of your other hobbies?

    A. I’ve always been into photography and have been working a lot more on it recently.

    Q. What is one of your best experiences or accomplishments you had being an artist?

    A. The greatest moments, as an artist, are always receiving messages from fans saying that my music has helped them in some way. Nothing is more rewarding.

  • Proving yourself to everyone else is futile

    Proving yourself to everyone else is futile

    You are your greatest advocate, and the validation that you need most is your own. You are strong enough and good enough,  exactly as you are in this moment, to do whatever you chose to do. Even if others are well intentioned with their advice, only you know what is best for you. So stay true to your choices and trust in your strength. Find happiness in whichever way suits you. The people you are trying your hardest to impress are likely not your people. The ones who deserve your respect and attention are the ones who see you as you are and love you anyway.
