“We will always face challenges in life. It’s how we adapt that make us who we are. I just never gave up,” said Dphrepaulezz, 55. “I turned bullshit into good shit — turned it into something beautiful.”Dphrepaulezz said that some people were uncomfortable with his stage name at first, which he said came about through growing up with Latino-speaking friends in Oakland and Los Angeles.
Dphrepaulezz has produced all of his own albums, learning his way around the mixing console in the 1990s. His first exposure was in a neighbourhood studio that he later realized was owned by the area’s drug dealers. He stopped going when he heard on the news that a headless body had been found in the house.
The festival features local, international and regional blues and R&B artists/groups, on stage at Ship Point in the Inner Harbour or Hermann’s Upstairs, Friday to Sunday. “Performers range from Grammy winners, Juno-nominated performers to talented up-and-comers from around the province. We are super stoked.”
At Hermann’s Upstairs, festival-goers can hear Mazacote, a six-piece world/Latin band with deep roots in the music of Nicaragua, Mozambique and Colombia, on Friday, and Winnipeg-born singer-songwriter Boy Golden on Saturday.
