Shi chops it up with NOW in preparation for her performance tomorrow night. Bom bom.
The Billboard charts are full of superstars who started out writing hits for other people: Kanye West, Frank Ocean, Lady Gaga. We perceive their transition into the spotlight as a promotion, and the end goal. But Toronto neo-soul singer Shi Wisdom sees it differently.
“For me, becoming an established writer is more of a priority than becoming a performer,” says Wisdom, born Renee Wisdom. “I will always perform and sing. But that in itself [doesn’t guarantee] longevity. It’s not easy to stay relevant in the scene for many years as a performer, whereas writing is a gift that stays with you.”
So far, she’s doing okay. As well as penning her own songs, Wisdom co-wrote Roc Nation star Rita Ora’s debut single, R.I.P., with fellow Torontonian Drake.
But it’s her rich, versatile singing – part laid-back Erykah Badu, part rolling Beyoncé trill (two artists she’s covered), part edgy je ne sais quoi in her lower register – that’s made her a sought-after headliner.
Wisdom was first an opener at The Known Unknown, a music series started five years ago in the small Bloor and Ossington club Lambadina by Tika Simone. Recognizing the need to spotlight local urban artists, Simone originally called it Intimate & Interactive and intended to perform herself before realizing her calling was showcasing others.
New MC Tru Lyrikks drops some knowledge in an early 90’s type a way. Not mad. Always dope to know that there’s under 20 MCs out there that remain pure in artform and message. With all the songs about money, drugs and b*tches out there it’s so easy to fall out of love with this whole thing. Consider this the intro.

Khandi enlists some help from Lord Quest for “Say Goodbye”.
A heartfelt telling of what it means to be honest with love, and what it means to be honest with yourself in the process; Khandi’s ‘Say Goodbye’ offers an entrance to the exit, for some, and an unapologetic kick right out of the door, to others …
With the talented Lord Quest on production, Khandi urges all lovers to wake up.
