There’s so much of the underground scene that really gets no love, and a lot of them are people of color. If you look at the festivals—I even tried to get my band at some festivals on the north side. There’s maybe a couple Latin bands, but I personally feel like it should be representing more of what Chicago is and its diversity, and even its political stance.
I got offered a scholarship to come out here and play in the big band at Columbia College. I did an audition through YouTube, and they accepted me. I came out to Columbia College, was a full-time student, playing trumpet. Although I was a singer and a songwriter, I wasn’t really pushing that in school, I was really just trying to do my job during the day. By night, if I wasn’t working my night job, I was out on the scene, hitting open mikes, just really getting my name out.
It was so fulfilling to get that call. My last ChiBrations shoot for the 2019 season—I was shooting this artist named, who’s super dope. We had just wrapped up his session, and I got the call from [executive director] Esther [Grisham Grimm] at 3Arts, and she was like, “Hey, just wanted to reach out, are you sitting down?” I was like, “No, should I?”She broke the news that I won.
