Friday Concert Series: ft Sophiyah e. 💫
Detroit Public Library Main Branch, 5201 Woodward Avenue Media Room Detroit, MI 48202, Detroit, MI, USSophiyah Elizabeth draws inspiration for her experimental jazz form from the desire to raise awareness surrounding liberation and spiritual reverence. The producer/songwriter/singer connects various mediums using frequencies of sound, visualizations and meditative practices. Sophiyah's love affair with piano and technology intertwines story-telling and ancestral influence amongst digital and analog textures! Elements of Toni Morrison, Sade, Idris Muhammad, Erykah Badu and Yusef Dayes, to name some, have influenced this electric-soul fused vibration. The music will be produced live and will use various forms so lets see how this new experimental version of jazz sounds.
NOTE: This is a FREE No Host event.
