#01 — Inked Impressions: Dirty L00ks

Joining us this week is Emerick Derome, a Montreal-based tattoo artist who goes by the pseudonym ‘dirtyl00ks’. Deriving influence from the DIY movement, dirtyl00ks has gained notoriety in Montreal and on social media as a contributor to the more radical “new school” tattoo culture. Today, we will be exploring the role that music plays within his platform. Instagram: @dirtyl00ks Audio Credit: Isaac Teague Instagram: @chaisaac_tea

How does music influence individuals who aren’t necessarily living a life that centres around music? Often we are given the perspective of the impact of music on individuals who have careers in music - an artist, a producer, an arranger, a manager. But music (song, dance, melody) is certainly a major component of nearly every human. In this podcast, we want to explore the role of music for people who might not be “technically” qualified or proficient. We will be interviewing individuals from the Montreal community who are threaded into the general public in one way or another. Too often, a topic is examined by experts in great detail, but what about the simpler - perhaps more meaningful, more universal and more human - perspectives on “the auditory experience” in daily life? This podcast hopes to investigate this view. Jam for Justice McGill hosts music-based events that showcase local musicians to foster the Montreal music community and support charitable organizations. This is our very first podcast. Facebook: @jamforjusticemcgill Instagram: @jam_for_justice
