🚨 Exhibition Alert! 🚨 I’m thrilled to be a contributing artist in Free Music: The Illusion of Liberation, a multi-month exhibition opening September 27 at @eatonhotel.dc and on view through Winter 2025.

✊This collaborative project with Michael Bowie of @distrik.kollective and @khadija.jahmila explores the contradiction of artistic freedom, exposing how corporate control and economic inequity limit artistic autonomy.

🩷 My song "Wild" is featured alongside other DMV musicians and visual artists.

🖼️💿Artworks and music will be available for purchase, including individual tracks and the full compilation album. 🔗Link in bio.
