Much Master T

An inside peek at the life of a MuchMusic VJ ? When you think of urban pop
culture icons at "the nation's music station" over the past decade, only one
name comes to mind: master T. "T" has been an employee at Much since their
doors opened in 1984 (in 1990 he hit the air full-time as a VJ) and in that
time he's helped fuel the growth of urban music in Canada and become world
renowned for his relaxed, well-researched style of interviewing. So much so
that musical artists such as Shaggy, Eminem, and the Spice Girls have
specifically requested that Master T be their host for high-profile much
interview segments. This part-Much-retrospective, part-autobiography will
provide a behind-the-scenes peek at the bejewelled, dreadlocked wonder as he
rubs shoulders with A-list celebrities from Barry White and the Backstreet
Boys to Mary J. Blige and Madonna during his intimate interview sessions. Much
Master T fuses together stories of his life migrating from England to
Kitchener, Ontario, becoming a pitchman for the hugely successful Dance Mix
CDs, his views on diversity on Canadian tv, and how he helped usher in Much's
unconventional style of political reportage. Included are never-before-told
stories of having his head pulled into Scary Spice's cleavage, interviewing
Tupac just days before his murder, and coercing a very pregnant Lauryn Hill-
on-sabbatical to perform an exclusive gig at his MuchMusic goodbye blocko
party.
