The Dr. Vibe Show™: Live Tonight At 7:30 P.M. Eastern/4:30 P.M. Pacific – JD Vishus
JD Vishus has always had an uncanny ability to convey feelings and messages through poetry. So in 1986 he decided to marry this uncanny ability with his natural love for music. He Started a rap crew with some friends called SC Roc. The crew made a few demo tapes but never got anywhere. In 1987, JD decided to become a solo artist with Dj Marvel J backing him up. He started making a name for himself around Toronto, performing in many shows including the legendary Monster Jam series at the Concert Hall, 1987 and 1988.
In 1989, JD made his television debut on the Electric Circus. Between 1989 and 1994 JD continued making songs and shopped around for labels. Disillusioned by that endeavor as well as the state of Hip Hop at the time, JD started performing Spoken Word Poetry. Again, JD started to gain a name with a different crowd. In the coming years he performed in many venues around North America, all around Toronto, plus Detroit, Montreal, the Nuyorican Cafe in New York, and London, England.
In 1997, JD Vishus was featured on “Wordlife: Tales of the Underground Griots“, an excellent compilation of Canadian poets including Jemini and Dwayne Morgan. In 2003, JD won an “Open door pitch prize” at that year’s Innoversity Summit. The prize enabled JD to create a radio documentary for CBC radio’s Outfront show. The documentary was entitled “Would You Like Some Shepherd’s Pie With That Roti?” The piece was autobiographical and told completely in poetic form by JD. The show was aired in 2003, February 2004 and again in February of 2013. In 2004, JD had a near death experience. He suffered an asthma attack. From that time on he went into hyper mode establishing his sound and ensuring that his music got out to the largest amount of people. He completed his first album “Alleycat Sensibilities” in 2005 and thereafter established his website. JD continued to expand his sound. In 2013, he released his Mixtape entitled “Run Get This” coupled with a mini-film. Stay tuned as this mixtape may prove to be a door to the world, an exciting prelude to JD’s second album due out in late 2013, early 2014.
