Just found this over at A-Trak’s site.. Thought it would serve as a good source of inspiration to all those trying to do their ‘own thing’ ! Hard work, passion, and persistence will always pay off.. Big up Fools Gold, keep that good music coming!

Please make sure you try to pass through and do your part… Myself & Sir Lancelot will be playing a set from 11-1130pm before heading to Waterloo to play Vault Lounge w/ DJ Flash & crew.  If you are unable to make it on the 4th of February, that’s fine. Just remember this is an ongoing issue & while holding an event such as this will help, Haiti and it’s people need as much ongoing help as they can get. Big shouts to Naveen from NuHype on taking initiative.. !!

The second annual “Social Media Week” conference will take place between February 1st – 5th, 2010 simultaneously in New York City, Berlin, London, San Francisco, Toronto and São Paulo.

I’ll be speaking as part of a panel discussion [8.30-8.40pm] as well as playing a set later that night [11.45-12.30] as part of Toronto’s Reach & Remix showcase.

Pharrell Keynote at MIDEM 2010 from thecashmerethinker on Vimeo.

I suggest watching this.. Quite inspiring.

“In the 80’s there was Quincy, in the 90’s there was Dr. Dre… just last month, Billboard Magazine named you producer of the decade..”

Pharrell was invited to give the key note speech at Midem, a music business conference held in Cannes, France. It was in Q&A format with Rob Stone, who is the co-CEO of Cornerstone - who you might remember from Pharrell’s Billboard cover.

Whatup..!! A lot of people have been BBM’ing, emailing, and generally asking where I’ll be over the next little while.. Here you go!

*You can get a new podcast at the podcast page ++ an electro tape with myself & Jester will be dropping very shortly as well…
