Growing up and living in The West with African immigrant parents has helped me develop a certain perspective and relationship with the world. I have a big love for music, but even more than that, I love sharing it and the new ideas it might inspire. This blog has been a way for me to share that POV and highlight music/media that I enjoy while also amplifying works made by black and otherwise marginalized artists. The goal is to connect people to people.
I’ve never really liked how music can be seen or consumed as a niche thing, as if certain genres or styles are only meant to be enjoyed by certain types of people. That’s boring and snobby as hell. More than anything, I want this space to make “artsy stuff” more accessible and inviting. Help connect people to sounds they otherwise would never know or hear about. Maybe offer a place on the internet to slow down and fight back against the algorithms for a bit.
If you are an enjoyer of music and willing to keep an open mind, definitely stick around!
Much love,
