Born in Brampton, Ontario and of Jamaican heritage and is now living in the big city of Toronto. Mr. Don Cash is a man on a mission to find the true connections between people, music and the myth of life. I had the chance to speak with this man of mysteries a little while ago...and it went a little something like this....

Tanya: How did your life in music begin?

Don Cash: I grew up with grown people and I was always surrounded by music.

Tanya: How did that effect your taste in the music you do?

Don Cash: I appreciated artists like Marley and Wings, because they took some time to own their craft, and that's what I do.

Tanya: Your CD "On The Bus", is your 12th album and the first on your label Stereoeagle. How did that come together?

Don Cash: I had some money saved and my choices were get a new computer or put out a record. The reason for my label is so I can keep track of the manufactering and make sure shit is selling.

Tanya: How about the other CDs will they resurface on the label?

Don Cash: Yes. I am hoping they will be mastered and pressed soon.

Tanya: Will you produce other artists?

Don Cash: I'm thinking of it. I'm an artist, I don't produce little blonde girls for the industry.

Tanya: Interesting, please explain?

Don Cash: The industry concentrates on making strippers.

Tanya: Is there a Canadian artist that you respect?

Don Cash: I think Robbie Robertson from the 60's group The Band. He is or should be a national hero and treasure. I don't think he gets the respect he deserves cause he's "6 nations."

Tanya: What do you think of the Toronto music scene?

Don Cash: It's nice and bland, take a look around things are not what they seem. People are not openly lynching here, although there is a smug attitude and people do not put extra effort into anything or anyone. Our society is very white and male dominated, Anglo-Saxon types that have been here for a while.

Tanya: From your CD, I'm a fan of the tracks Stardust and The Last Punkrock Star.

Don Cash: Thanks! I was going for something and i got it.

Tanya: I love that your CD crosses many genres that include electro, hip hop and A TOUCH OF PUNK AND HOUSE.

Don Cash: I have a lot of different styles, I'm not a genre musician.

Tanya: Does the band consist of just you?

Don Cash: Yes, and ocassionally my friend Alphonso.

Tanya: Where do you feel the soul of music today is coming from major labels or indie labels and why?

Don Cash: Indie labels are doing what major labels were suppose to do "find good music and promote it." What is also good is alot of power has gone to the artist. You don't have to go to New York anymore.

Tanya: What's your next project?

Don Cash: It will not be "On The Bus 2." It will be a double solo album of country.
