IHEARTRADIO: JUNO NOMINATED SINGER AMMOYE + AUTHOR SONYA SINGH

On the Saturday March 14, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we meet 8 time Juno nominee Ammote. She recently won Best Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year at the Reggae North Music Awards. Her album Water earned her a JUNO Award nomination as well as Grammy Award consideration and she has shared stages with renowned artists such as Michael Bublé, Sean Paul, Ziggy Marley, Chronixx, Arkells, Brandy and Wyclef Jean.

Today Ammoye joins me to talk about being nominated for Reggae Recording of the Year at the 2026 JUNOs for the song “More Reggae (Funk It Up),” her collaboration with powerhouse performer Samora.

Then, we get to know Sonya Singh. Following the success of her debut, Sonya returns with “The Fake Matchmaker,” a delightful, trope-rich rom-com with real heart. With sharp humour and irresistible chemistry, the novel delivers a smart, modern take on dating, expectations, and the beautiful messiness of falling for someone at the wrong time. Told through a fun, fizzy rom-com lens, Manisha’s story is also steeped in Indian culture, exploring family dynamics and generational expectations with warmth and wit.

ENTERTAINMENT IS BROKEN: The End of Touring (Unless You’re BTS)

BTS is back from military service — and their comeback show in Seoul is expected to draw 260,000 fans.

Yes. A quarter of a million.

Meanwhile, most bands can’t afford gas for the tour van.

In this episode of Entertainment Is Broken, Sarah Hanlon and I dive into the bizarre economics of live music:

  • Why mega-concerts are getting bigger than ever
  • Why the middle of the music industry is disappearing
  • Why touring now costs so much artists sometimes lose money on the road
  • And whether the future of music is stadium spectacles… or livestreams from someone’s living room

The music industry isn’t dead.

But it might be… broken.
