Talking With
Jarred “Allstar” Haynes

“The art I see in

freeskiing is beautiful”
A true legend in the ski industry, Jarred Haynes is best known as the
voice of Salomon Freeski TV.

Jarred put out a considerable body of ski-related music. His two

mixtapes, The Urban Segment, and The Urban Segment II, are essential
listens for any skier.

These mixtapes were off the grid for the last few years, but thanks to
Jarred they are now avaliable for streaming and download at
Snovoid.com/Allstar

So turn your stereo up and enjoy this catch up with Jarred.

really skied. Is that still the case,
or have you picked it up a bit?

My favourite track by you is probably the infamous Warren Miller

Entertainment diss track, My Level. What was the making of that like,
and how does it feel to be the voice of the people on that topic?
Did you ever have any issues with WME after that track came out?

“Welcome to the death of Warren Miller Entertainment”, sheesh, what

a way to begin a song. The making of that song was intense for me
because at the time, I actually had the opportunity to really kick it with
a lot of the freeski family for the first time in Montreal at IF3. When I
heard what was going on I had to make a song because that’s what I do;
I make songs about real life. This song was actually the first song for
the first ever skiing related mixtape “The Urban Segment.” I was stoked
at the reception it received when it was released and backed by Level
1’s Berman and Decker.

It’s so crazy recalling all of these great moments in life.

You put out two skiing related
mixtapes, The Urban Segment,
and The Urban Segment II. What
was the process like for these two
tapes, and where did you source
your inspiration from for these
projects?

My music always reflects where I
