Top Ten Interviews 2012

10. Lee Mellor

I sat down with Lee before his gig at La Salla Rossa. Mellor is an accomplished author and alternative / country singer and musician. Lee is very realistic in what he does which is the key element to his success musically and as a writer. That quality shines through in both his songwriting and the way he brought the facts together for his first book about serial killers in Canada.

Lee was very accommodating to me with his time and his candidness – something anyone who gets to know him can attest to. Mellor was also kind enough to give me another interview for an article I wrote for the first issue of an online police magazine.

If you ever have an opportunity to listen to Mellor’s music, read his book or talk to the man – grab the chance, you will walk away a better person because of it …

9 . Jason Rockman (Slaves on Dope)

Most know the man as a top DJ on Ch om -fm in Montreal. His real fans know him also as the lead singer of Slaves on Dope.

I sat down with Jason at a Second Cup on Notre Dame street in Montreal. Rockman was candid from the get-go. There was no hiding anything from his past, his current situation or his future endeavors. If he f*ucked up somewhere (as we all do), he says it with no regret. He admits his strengths as strong as his weaknesses. He hurriedly admits those who have helped him become strong and is very true to the people he loves. His music is such a passion, it is a real privilege to talk to him and Jason is the type of guy we can all learn from in his modest nature.
