‘Of all the places I’ve travelled to and audiences I’ve played music for, Detroit is still the city that remains the barometer of advanced creative knowledge and technique (…) It’s special because of what the long list of native Detroit musicians that have contributed to the world of music. It’s a place that is infamous for proposing new ways and ideas as well as a unique and common viewpoint on the future of music. The city taught me to never fear what lies beyond, but embrace it as a means to advance the music art form. I look forward to Movement 2022 – returning back to the city and to the people that taught me and the World everything.’
