Canadian reggae hip hop artist Snow (a.k.a. Darrin O’Brien) has battled his demons.
His ghost, on the other hand, he just hangs out with.
“He’s a wicked ghost,” the soft-spoken performer says of the spirit. “Billy would mess with us.”
Billy was a childhood friend of his who died three years ago in the house the musician bought for his own mother. According to Snow, Billy’s ghost now inhabits the attached recording studio where he cut his latest album Mind On The Moon.
Some of the shenanigans attributed to his dear departed friend include playing instruments in other rooms, moving secured microphone stands, and generally insinuating himself into the recording process.
“But now my mother’s moving and selling the house,” says Snow, who plays The Palace tonight.
