the interview show: Bonjay
Toronto-based Bonjay are an interesting duo. Talented singer Alana Stuart almost signed a big record deal, until she found out they wanted to make her over into “Donna Boogie.” Instead, she found DJ Ian “Pho” Swain at a party and Bonjay was born. Bonjay‘s music starts at dancehall, but veers off somewhere different. They are both strongly committed to creating something new. You have to respect that.

(If you listen carefully, you can hear Diamond Rings talking in the background of this one. For such a quiet guy in these interviews, he is sure loud in others.)
