D.O. Gibson Joins The Amazing Race Canada

Partnered with Maestro Fresh Wes

 

One of the biggest adventures of my career is here! I'm proud to join the cast of The Amazing Race Canada alongside Canadian hip-hop icon Maestro Fresh Wes as Canada's Finest.

From high-pressure challenges to unforgettable moments across the country, this experience tested our teamwork, resilience, and determination like never before. It was an incredible opportunity to represent our communities and share this journey with Canadians from coast to coast.

Tune in each week and cheer on Canada's Finest as we race for the finish line!

D.O. Gibson Appointed to the Order of Canada

One of Canada's Highest Civilian Honours

D.O. Gibson has been appointed to the Order of Canada, one of the country's highest civilian honours, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to music, education, youth empowerment, and community leadership.

For more than 25 years, D.O. has used hip-hop as a platform to inspire young people across Canada and around the world. Through his Stay Driven program, award-winning music, bestselling books, and thousands of school presentations, he has encouraged generations of students to believe in themselves, pursue their dreams, and overcome adversity.

Receiving the Order of Canada is a deeply meaningful milestone that reflects a lifetime dedicated to service, storytelling, and creating opportunities for others.

Best Year of My Career

International tour

This Spring, D.O. will be completing the Best Year of My Career tour in Paris, South Africa and Netherlands!

On This Grind

Gibson is marking his two-decade milestone by publishing his second book on October 1st also, On This Grind, containing additional knowledge gleaned from the music business, lessons he says can be useful for entrepreneurs and students in all fields. “I learned early that I would need to take charge of my career if I wanted to have success. When I started learning the grant system, artists would come to me for advice, and I’ve helped over 100 artists get grants for their music. I’ve always loved the entrepreneurial side of hip-hop. That’s one thing that separates hip-hop from other genres—rappers often talk about the business side of music in their lyrics.”
