Pass The Mic is an alternative music online show available to watch through UA-cam where we invite musicians, producers and artists to share about their music, inspiration and story as well as artists that they would like to “Pass the Mic” for us to learn more about and reach out to for a new episode.
Where we say alternative we encompass general alternative music - rock, metal, electronic and drum and bass artists, musicians and producers.
While focusing on alternative music, we make sure to include a diverse range of artists from different sub-genres within the alternative music spectrum to showcase the richness and diversity of the alternative music scene.

Always been a huge fan of Indigenous rock/folk but finding content was somewhat limited. Justis really helped fill that gap in my music catalogue! This dude deserves so much respects from the music community. Looking forward to see what the future holds for the label.
