It’s official — I Heard The City Breathe: The Narration is now available on all streaming platforms.
This project started as a vision rooted in Chicago, community, youth collaboration, and personal reflection. Now, after months of creating, performing, exhibiting, and sharing the story behind the work, the music is finally here for everyone to experience.
Thank you to every student, producer, engineer, artist, partner, family member, and supporter who helped breathe life into this project.

Thanks again for all the birthday love and to everyone who came out to experience the final day of I Heard The City Breathe at the @beverlyartcenter . Shoutout to @rooks_looks and @sxucougars for the opportunity again.This year has been a wild ride, but it has also opened the door to a new chapter in my artistic journey.
For a long time, I kept music and art at a distance. Not because I didn’t love them, but because expressing myself that honestly carried a weight I wasn’t always ready to hold. I often found myself moving around the edges of the work instead of fully stepping into it.
But this project changed that. I Heard The City Breathe literally breathed life back into me — pun fully intended. It reminded me why storytelling matters, why music heals, and why our stories deserve to be heard.
This week, I Heard The City Breathe will be dropping on all DSPs. Stay tuned as the inspiration, backstory, visuals, and music continue to unfold. This is only the beginning. More is definitely on the way.

I’m honored to share this article on I Heard The City Breathe and the incredible opening reception at the Beverly Arts Center. This project is deeply personal to me, rooted in the Black experience of Chicago and brought to life through visual art, music, film, and collaboration across generations. The article captures the heart of the night and the community that made it so powerful.
I’d love for you to take a moment to read it, learn more about the vision behind the work, and see what this exhibition means to me and everyone who helped shape it.

I’m excited to personally invite you to my exhibition I Heard the City Breathe at the Beverly Arts Center. This project means a lot to me because it reflects not just my artistic vision, but the heart of Chicago, the stories that shaped me, and the power of creating with the next generation of artists. To have this work recognized by Saint Xavier University and shared in this way is truly special.
The show will be up April 6 through May 1, and I would really love for you to come out to the reception on April 11 from 6–8 PM. We’re celebrating the art, the story, the journey, and the community behind it all — and there will also be a live performance of the EP during the reception. Come vibe with us, support, and experience I Heard the City Breathe in person. Chicago, this one is from the heart.

The exhibition will be on view April 6 through May 1, but I would especially love for you to join me for the reception and experience the heart of this project in person. Sponsored by @sxu_visual_arts and @rooks_looks Nathan Peck, Head of the Art Department at the Visual Arts Center, with support from @chicagodcase Individual Artist Grant and the @illinoisartscouncil Catalyst Grant.
