In this week’s episode, it’s all about Global Music Match (GMM)! Host Chris Batstone sits down to chat with three GMM alumni, Christina Martin (Nova Scotia), SaulPaul (Texas), and Karate Kactus (Newfoundland and Labrador). Having participated in the first edition of GMM just last year, the trio discuss the unique opportunity it provided them amidst a pandemic, the role of being both a tutor and mentor with peers, and why they refer to it as a “social media bootcamp.” All of this and more, get a first-hand look at an artist’s experience during GMM.
