Q: What is something you love about where you live?

A: I love the people I am in the community with. From my neighbors to the people I organize events with to the audience members that I get to play music for. I appreciate and respect the different types of spaces Detroit has to offer. I love Belle Isle, Eliza Howell Park, and the Great Lakes. I feel blessed to be surrounded by water. There's a magical feeling about that.
