“Brooklyn man creates orchestra to give inner city youth access to classical music”
A huge thank you to Rocco over @ny1 Spectrum News for the invitation.
Myself along with the entire ICYONY community are extremely grateful to share this opportunity with you all.
Proud to release my first single!
I hope that in this time, we are reminded of the people who we’ve lost. Let’s sing a song to our loved ones who are no longer with us.
Aunt Wanna.... this is for you! ❤️💫

The 2025 Met Gala: “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”
An unforgettable night honoring legacy, sound, and Black excellence.
Performing with the Matt Jones Orchestra under the baton of @mattjonesmusick was revolutionary.
As Vogue said:
“When seeing the performance come to life, Dermy-Sanders also wanted attendees to be reminded of their ancestors. “[That’s] what the whole Met Gala is about this year. We’re really giving the flowers to everybody that came before us, and I just want to continue that story through there.”
Grateful to be apart of this powerful moment.
