ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Alick Mac is a rapper, singer and songwriter from the Comox Valley.
In this episode of Inlet Wire, Alick talks about his earliest connection to music, discovering hip-hop, and how writing became a place where he could be honest and vulnerable.
He gets into his creative process, working with different beat makers and collaborators, and how a song can take shape in different ways. We also hear about “Toothpaste,” a track that brings together his rapping and singing.
The conversation then turns to “Easier to Shout,” and the bigger questions around masculinity, emotional honesty and mental health that eventually grew into Boys’ Club — Alick’s one-man show combining original music, personal stories and reflections on masculinity, mental health and misogyny.
For Alick, the goal isn’t necessarily to leave people with an answer. It’s to leave them with something to think about, and maybe start a conversation that continues after the show.
