Today on the show we are joined again with our good pal John Orpheus. In past episodes we talked about his journey as a musician but today we dive into his life as an author as he recently released his first published book titled Saga Boy. The book has been getting such a buzz in the mainstream media and we hear about the years of dedication that went into creating such a successful piece. Also to go along with the themes of the book he is releasing a new album this week (July 30th) titled Saga King that is absolute fire! Around catching up on his work we dive into deeper conversation about life and artist expression.

On this week's show is a conversation that Mike has been greatly looking forward to sharing. It's with Trinidadian-Canadian author and artist Antonio Michael Downing, who in the music world currently goes by John Orpheus. At 46 years old, there is a suddenly a lot of interest in Downing's story and art. His tough-but-extraordinary life and artistic career is memoir-worthy, for sure. And so, unsurprisingly his memoir, Saga Boy: My Life of Blackness and Becoming, has done well. The book examines his journey from Trinidad to the tiny northern Ontario town of Wabigoon at 11 years old, growing up there with his older brother as the only Black kids around, and being raised by a stern evangelical aunt. Art, especially music, became his mental and literal escape from that place. He makes his way to Kitchener and then Toronto, and along the way he tours Europe with Liam Gallagher legends, wears and discards various personas and genres – like the punk rock rapper Mic Dainjah, and the soul crooner Molasses – and refuses to grasp commercial success if it requires sacrificing his own vision. There are innumerable ups and down, revelations, and tough lessons learned along the path of his illuminating journey. In Saga Boy the book, Antonio Michael Downing breaks open his mind and heart to examine that story, and on Saga King the album, John Orpheus celebrates the place where the journey has brought him. Here on the podcast with Mike, he digs into his story and the extraordinary lessons and experiences he's had.

Antonio Michael Downing joins us to discuss his best-selling memoir Saga Boy: My Life of Blackness and Becoming. He is a musician, writer, and activist based in Toronto and composes music as John Orpheus.    Recommendations from this episode: Books: Can You Hear Me Now? by Celina Caesar-Chavannes BLACK FUTURES ANTHOLOGY Frying Plantain by Zalika Reid-Benta Music: Lianne La Havas Gary Clarke Jr
