Once in a while I do photos for local musicians or bands here in Calgary, because I am a music lover, and I love musicians. I guess deep down inside, I wish I could do what they do. I have been working with PiK’s crew every since I started my photography career. A few times a year someone from the crew needs new photos done for promo or for their album and I am always willing to shoot these guys. PiK gave me a copy of his upcoming album, “Sobriety Sux” due to release on 4/20. It is one of the best album I have heard him do. It’s only a matter of time before he gets discovered, because his stuff is honestly as good, if not better than what is out there right now. Here are a couple photos from our shoot. The theme was a rehab clinic for musicians addicted to well, making and listening to music. We were lucky enough to get permission from the University of Calgary to shoot on their campus which really suited our needs. When they album gets released I will make sure I let all you hip hop fans know where to pick it up to support PiK.

Phebus and I go back a few years. I met Phebus through his fraternal twin, Julian, whom I worked with at Moxie’s many moons ago. I had an interest in Phebus’ work because he makes music. I am a huge hip hop fan, so when I heard that Julian’s brother was making beats in his basement, I had to see this for myself. After that first sit down, I was truly amazed and impressed. Phebus’ crew, Skyline Entertainment, are a talented bunch. These guys make beats and write music every single day, a true testament to the art of their craft. I have done 4 album shoots for Skyline so far with 3 different artists. I love seeing my photos on the cover of their albums and inside the sleeves. When Phebus contacted me about his upcoming album and needed photos, I was more than happy to do this again. Ryan and I showed up with our cameras and lights and it was all action!!

You can check out Phebus’ music on his myspace page.
