Interview Archives

MusicLegends.ca offers some insightful, original interviews, mainly because interviewer Jason Saulnier has experience in many aspects of the music industry. Not only does he have an impressive archive of interviews (nearly 1,000), he is a diverse musician who has performed in numerous venues both locally and throughout North America. He records and produces music. He creates and edits his own music videos. He is a collector and an amateur music historian. All these factors give him a vast knowledge of the industry, so the questions he asks are often the ones for which he hasn’t already found the answers. Being an artist himself, he can relate to those he encounters and fully appreciates their point of view.
