A LITTLE UPDATE

So, apparently my song "Pray For A Better Day" got nominated for an American Songwriting Award! I wasn't a finalist, and I didn't win, but this was definitely another step towards the world recognizing my music. Huge thank you to Rob Lamothe​ for writing such a great song with me! https://americansongwritingawards.com/winners/2015-nominees-and-finalists On another note, I unfortunately didn't win the Hamilton Music Award this year, but it was a great experience and there's always next year! -Flix

ACCESSIBLE SEATING AT THE 2015 JUNO AWARDS

As some of you may know I am a twenty-one year old R&B/Hip-Hop artist, and as most of you probably know I am confined to a power wheelchair. At about a year of age I was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a neuromuscular disease that affects my nerves and ability to build muscle. Despite any obstacles I face, I continue to move forward with a positive attitude, and the goal to show the world that individuals like myself can contribute to society. Seeing as how the 2015 Juno Awards are in Hamilton this year (only about a fourty five minute drive from my home), I thought I would look into getting some tickets to the event (I was hoping that maybe my music would be nominated- unfortunately it wasn’t my year, but you never know what the future holds, right?). As I started perusing Ticketmaster for ticket options, I was unpleasantly surprised to discover that wheelchair seating was going to cost $166.75 a ticket for me to attend.

NEW YEAR, NEW SONG!!!

I thought I'd start off the year correctly by releasing my new song featuring the legendary Madchild of Swollen Members...Checkout the lyric video below, and be sure to check the description box for download links (download on soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/b-flix/gotta-be-me-feat-madchild ). Have a fantastic 2015! This is what Madchild had to say on facebook about the track. "I was approached by B-Flix who was unfortunately diagnosed with a rare neuromuscular disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. This his why his voice is so unique. He has been in a power wheelchair since age of three. It touched my heart to know that even in his difficult situation he still is striving towards his dream and passion. I am proud to help promote this song we did together. When listening, please understand he has a very serious condition. Please have a kind heart ... and be supportive of my new friend and lets wish him all of the best in the new year! Let him be an inspiration
