Taking advantage of his parent’s relocation to the Maritimes in '99. Vision has been traveling out east every few months spreading his word. He's done shows and sold music in Halifax, Moncton, Fredericton and Charlottetown to date. With his network increasing every trip, in each visit he's working on his plan to independently lock down the country.
His first full release READY TO FLY (release date to be announced) will have production mainly by him featuring many of the above mentioned producers and artists. It promises to be a surprising combination of thoughtfully written, unique lyrics over a wide range of original beats, that he himself has produced.
