What is your interest in the CreativesDC beta community?

Meeting other creative folks in this area and continuing to broaden my fanbase since I am a vocalist in DC

How are you using your imagination and original ideas to enrich our economy and culture in DC, and beyond? Or, how would you like it to?

I write music for all types of people. I am an artist that wants to enrich DC through my music; my music has traces of West African culture in it, and I want people to familiarize themselves with another culture other than their own; topics of my songs are not only relatable, but I talk about things that people think about all the time, but are afraid to admit. Everytime I create music, I just delve deeper and deeper. I will bring people closer through my music, starting right here, in DC :)

What place/scene/event do you think DC needs to attract more creatives?

Events where people can be themselves; events that center around self-love and the idea that openness with oneself will in turn lead to openness with others. Hope this makes sense...
