The 2019 Prism Prize for Best Canadian Music Video was awarded to Kevan Funk, for his clip for Belle Game’s Low. We will continue to profile prominent Canadian videos, including this one from an acclaimed singer/songwriter with an honest ethic.


Tim Moxam - Honesty

Consider this a social experiment of sorts. For Honesty, Toronto singer-songwriter, Tim Moxam, already had the video in mind well before the song came to life. Moxam wanted to grow his hair out and wanted to see how he would be judged based on his appearance.

Throughout the video, we see Moxam portraying different characters. It reflects on the idea of trying on different identities or masks to find our true selves. We are the adventurer, entrepreneur, traveller, tourist etc. “We retain bits of each manifestation of our developing personalities, eventually forming a version of ourselves that we choose to present to the world around us. Deep down inside, though, beneath each mask we wear is our honest selves. That, we cannot hide from,” he says.

Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong Warns About U.S. ‘Slipping Into Fascism’ During Download Festival Set: ‘It’s Up to Us to Fight Back!’

The singer's comments came on the same day that President Trump held a rare military parade on the streets of D.C. and millions turned out for massive "No Kings" protests.

Billie Joe Armstrong has never held back on his contempt for Donald Trump. The Green Day singer has been raging against the policies of the 45th and now 47th president for years, and during the band’s first-ever set at the Download Festival in Donington Park in the U.K. on Friday (June 13), the singer lashed out at the U.S. president in unequivocal terms.

“Donald Trump in his administration is a fascist government,” Armstrong told the crowd. “And it’s up to us to fight back.” The comments came just a day before Trump presided over his long-awaited military parade in Washington, D.C. The rare display of military hardware and marching soldiers was meant to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, whilst also coinciding with Trump’s 79th birthday.
