S8E04 - Jesse Ohtake (Owner/Founder of The Academy)
I first met Jesse Ohtake when I was writing for The CyberKrib, reviewing records and interviewing hip-hop, R&B and soul artists.
As the owner/founder of The Academy, Air Moves and other cultural initiatives, Jesse has spent decades building platforms for artists and bringing Toronto’s music community together.
Today, we’re talking about the records that shaped him, the hustle behind building a scene, and what it takes to keep the culture moving.
