BETTER IN TUNE, A LEGACY PROJECT / 2014 - 2024

Better In Tune, A Legacy Project pays tribute to the Pioneers of Funk, Soul, R&B, Afrobeat, and Hip Hop, showcasing the musical connections that shaped and influenced these genres. It shows musical connections raising awareness to where it began and some of the characters involved in changing the shape of music. The project also illustrates connections to outstanding contemporary artists so that younger generations can appreciate the significance of these relationships. The project features over 150 portraits of both renowned pioneers and contemporary artists. Through this project, I hope to highlight the significance of these musical connections and inspire younger generations to appreciate their impact.
