Nyla Hayes; Courtesy: Kia Caldwell Photography Nyla Hayes is not an average artist. She has been featured in Diversity in Action, Ebony, Black Enterprise, and TIME Magazine. All of these accomplishments, paired with CNN interviews and speaking at billionaire luncheons, would lead you to believe that she can’t be any more impressive.

The song "Queen of Paisley" has an old school vibe that may make it hard to believe it was written by a 24 year old artist. Silas Short, from Milwaukee, is that guy. Silas is the latest phenomenon to come out of our city. Short’s career began one night on Christmas eve when he DM’d one of his favorite artists. That DM landed him at Stones Throw Records, the same […]

Courtesy of the artist An artist like Danielle Ponder has layers. She is not only a brilliant artist, she’s a TED talk speaker and a respected attorney. So, when I sat down to talk to her about her life, love and music I had no idea that I would soon feel like a member of her inner circle. She let me in on her personal highs and lows. She even […]
Courtesy of the artist For most people walking a tight rope between multiple spaces and places can be a challenge. But not for Jean Dawson. If he had his way there would be no boundaries, in language, land music or imagery. Nothing displays this more than his video for "Pirate Radio". In this video he plays with the duality of images. He begins the video highlighting the connection between technology […]

Element Everest-Blanks: You were born in California, moved to Ohio, and then ultimately settled in Lansing, Illinois. NNAMDI: Correct. EEB: Father was, or still is, a minister. NNAMDI: Yes he is. I would go to church, do the services. I started playing some music in church too. I played drums a little bit, but I was […]
