While globally recognized as one of of North America’s leading celebrity chefs with a growing culinary empire spanning restaurants, TV, books and more, Roger Mooking began his multi-creative career as a ground-breaking rapper that helped shape Canada’s contemporary Hip Hop scene as a solo artist and founding member of groups Maximum Definitive and Bass is Base. The Trinidadian-born, Canadian raised Hip Hop lyricist has a discography spanning five honor with a Juno award and Juno award nominations. In recognition of Hip Hop 50, Roger has released “SOUNDBITES,” his sixth studio album. Inspired by the fact that the average human attention span lasts 8.25 seconds, “SOUNDBITES” is a lyrical opus of fleeting tracks celebrating music, community, creativity, chaos and explores how time shapes and defines the world, especially from a Black perspective. The tracks are comprised of three parts, which mirror the arc of a life – the Learning, the Living, and the Leaving. “SOUNDBITES” is also the soundtrack to Roger’s forthcoming new book, Curious Sounds: A Dialogue in Three Movements which releases on Tuesday October 24th.
