Guest Speaker Ep. 101: Jiida

On Episode 101 of the Guest Speaker Series, we sit down with JMC artist, producer, & songwriter Jiida. Jiida discusses a variety of topics, including his early years playing saxophone and being a part of the marching band at his high school, to the eventual progression of him starting to create his own production and music, especially once he met fellow JMC members Deric Wagner, l.ucas, & Timi O. He also shares his journey in developing who he is as an artist, and being more comfortable as a performer and being the face of his own artistry. Mike & Jiida talk about what fans can expect from JMC’s upcoming show, Proof of Concept, on Saturday May 11th at the Crystal Ballroom, as well as Jiida’s two upcoming projects he is currently working on, at least one of which will drop in 2024. Jiida also shares his love for dinosaurs, making his own pasta, why original Goldfish are superior to all other flavors, and his love of video games. Additionally, the guys also have a long winded conversation about mental health, utilizing therapy properly and some of its misconceptions, letting go of what no longer serves you, and so much more. This was such an enlightening, yet enjoyable conversation you won’t want to miss.
