Jacob Crepeault

My name is Jacob Crepeault. I am a student at Carleton University with an extensive palette for all things music. Throw in some hip-hop, a dash of indie rock, a touch of experimental, and baby, you got a stew goin'. I am the eldest of 8 children which means chaos is my friend. In my spare time, I enjoy creating my own short films, marathoning Disney movies with my girlfriend, dabbling in the art of remixing, and goofing around with friends. My main goal as a journalist is to enlighten avid music listeners about fresh and dynamic musicians.

Nowadays, anyone can become famous. Social media outlets like YouTube and Twitter are wading pools washing in new one-hit wonders every few weeks. While many people find their stardom in unexpected ways, others are patient and await the opportunity for discovery. The hip-hop genre is often shadowed by giants like Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West.
