It's the only way the U of R grad can explain landing his dream job as the roving West Coast reporter for MuchMusic, the nation's pop music conduit for the 20something set. "I've never had a career plan short of wanting to be in journalism in some form," says Nelson. "I don't know if I could have done better if I had planned it. I almost think if I had, I wouldn't be where I am today." After graduating, Nelson began his professional career in southern Ontario where he got his first taste of the daily news business as a camera operator for a London CTV affiliate. A short time later, Nelson returned to the West when he was hired by CBC Edmonton to work on an edgy current affairs program called Rough Cuts. "It was a great show to learn to be a storyteller," he says of his Rough Cuts experience. "The show took advantage of some really clever writing, shooting and editing. It was very illuminating, one of the best experiences of my life." The experience also afforded Nelson the opportunity to meet and work with his mentor, Brent Gilbert, whom he would follow to Vancouver Television, a fledgling, independent, start-up station that hired Nelson as its pop culture reporter in 1997. Two years later, Nelson was hired to replace Terry David Mulligan, the MuchMusic icon who had patrolled the West Coast music scene for the Toronto-based broadcaster for 14 years. "I got lucky," says Nelson. "MuchMusic was looking for someone who could report, write, produce, shoot video and also work alone and manage their time effectively. When you have that kind of criteria, the short list is, well, kind of short." Nelson says his show, Going Coastal, reflects the commitment that MuchMusic has made to cover musical artists based in Western Canada. Each week Nelson profiles the artists making the Western Canadian music industry click. Some days, he can be found in the company of some of the world's biggest stars including Bryan Adams, Nelly Furtado and Sarah McLachlan. Still, he says, it's profiling the new independent artists that provides him with the most job satisfaction. While he doesn't speculate on what the future holds, Nelson, with tongue firmly in cheek, says as a MuchMusic personality he has a "best-before date." "I don't know how much longer I will be fortunate enough to do this," he says. "I do have to think about where I want to go next. If I get back into news I want to pursue something that will allow me to indulge my natural curiosity and do something that is important and gratifying." Going Coastal airs Sunday nights at 11 p.m. EST on MuchMusic Spring 2004 THE THIRD DEGREE 23
