MUMMA CANADA
Carrie Mullings is an entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the music & media industries. The contributions that she has made to the Canadian reggae music infrastructure has helped the continued growth & sustainment of the platforms needed for artists to share their powerful messages & voices.
Founding her radio show "Rebel Vibez" (on CHRY FM, now Vibe105 FM) in 2003 has proven to be an empowering move, strengthening the voice of the community by sharing uplifting all-Canadian reggae music through the air waves. Founding Rebel Vibez also opened the gateway for Ms. Mullings to birth her brain-child, & now touring platform "Stages Canada" in 2015.
Commencing as a monthly event, Stages Canada's objective was to showcase the repertoire of artists based in the community & needing a space to perform & liaise. It has now evolved into a touring platform which has successfully toured artists such as Juno award winning Elaine "Lil Bit" Shepherd, Mikey Dangerous, Kirk Diamond, Juno nominated vocalists Ammoye, Josemar & many others. Stages Canada has graced the stages of Toronto, Montreal, & Jamaica with careful planning & will continue to make moves across Canada and beyond, with the leadership & experience of Ms. Mullings.
Aside from pioneering, Ms. Mullings is experienced in artist management, event planning and budget creation & adherence. She has hosted the Calgary Reggae Festival & Toronto's Jerk Festival for over 10 seasons & has also provided her expertise in private services for artist development through her own business and mentorship.
Throughout all of this extensive work, it has always been Ms. Mullings' desire to draw forth artist excellence, while ensuring that there is a place for them to rise & shine. Her efforts permeate multiple industries & her resistance to failure makes her resilient.
