CANADIAN HIP HOP ICON MAESTRO FRESH WES RECEIVES JUNO NOMINATION
Canadian Hip Hop Icon Maestro Fresh Wes received a Juno nomination, “Children’s Album of the Year” for his album, “MAESTRO FRESH WES Presents: Julia The Great featuring Keysha Freshh.” Williams’s first children’s album was also nominated in 2022. MAESTRO FRESH WES PRESENTS: Julia The Great is based on the characters from Maestro’s children’s book, STICK TO YOUR VISION: Young MAESTRO Goes To School (co-written by Rhodora Meliton-Vanderpool with illustrations by Leon “Eklipz” Robinson). The album is produced by Black Orchid, Classified & Dub J. The standout character, Julia The Great has a spin off project with Keysha Freshh as the voice of the young trailblazer. This project also features the artists Classified, JRDN, Simone Denny, O’Sound and Rich Kidd. Maestro also worked with groups of children from Saint John NB & Toronto to complete the album’s vision.
“Maestro Fresh Wes” is coming off the success of his exciting new cooking show, “Maestro Chef Wes” streaming now on Bell Fibe TV1. The Hip Hop Icon travels the Maritimes with his new moniker “Chef” sourcing local ingredients, culture and hanging with celebrity chefs and musicians, turning each episode into a classic East Coast kitchen party. He puts his unique take on everyone’s favorites. Maestro Chef Wes doesn’t make burgers, he makes Backbone Sliders! In each episode, Maestro and his celebrity guests come together to fish, farm, talk about life and chop it up in the kitchen before their company arrives. Everyone then gathers to eat the delicious food followed by a live performance by the Godfather of Canadian Hip Hop himself and fellow artists. One thing for sure, with his continued success, Maestro Fresh Wes has a well-earned seat at the Canada’s music industry table.
