Londonʼs most famous live music venues the Doverstreet Restaurant and Bar.
IAM: How do you rate your
live performance ability? Honestly I am a great entertainer. There are always ways I can grow as a performer and I learn from every show. Every time I perform I give all of me. I leave my heart on the stage. I know how to work a crowd, which is important because I feed off my audience. I love what I do and I know that shines through. When you have audience members coming on stage to dance with you, you know you are doing something right. I am a real singer, not just a studio singer which I am proud of. I work hard to keep up with my skill and to hone the gift God gave me.
IAM: Art and music has an impact on both young and old. So what advice do you have for the youth of today? Art and music does have a great affect on our youth. It is not the artists job to censor themselves based on how the music may influence the youth. That is the parents job. I believe the youth need to be educated that art is a form of expression and sometimes should not be taken literally. Art and music should truly inspire and make you feel. I would say to young kids today that their choices are what shapes them. Soak in the music that inspires you and enjoy the music that may challenge you, but know that art can also be a description of struggle and hardship and that we are all human and nobody is perfect.
IAM: Tell us about your next shows and why we should be there? I am gearing up to sing the National Anthems( American and Canadian) in a couple of weeks for the Memorial Cup which will be Nationally televised. The memorial cup runs from May 17th to May 26th and I will be performing 2 of the nights.
IAM: Any final thoughts? We are also currently working on my next show which will be in my birth city of Saskatoon. The dates, time and venue will be posted on my website at www. hunnybentertainment. com so stay updated. Reason you should come is to get the true HunnyB experience. The live way is the best way and I now you will be thoroughly entertained.
