Penpals by the intern & dédé

Dear dédé,

I hope life’s been treating you well. All the turmoil in the world has me buggin’ as of late. But you know what? When the mind accepts facts on this plane of livin’, knowledge be the key, so I stick to the rhythm. I hear ocean waves in harmony with the saxophone, hands flying over the keys of life and dull drums drawing closer until the infinite snare introduces the boom & bip. And so, the vision that was planted in my brain still remains. Until we meet again, old friend. Penpals.

His brother put him on to Goodie Mob & Outkast. Playing drums in his school's Jazzcombo & the symphonic orchestra of his hometown taught him about jazz & classical music. And then, there were skate videos, with their beautifully curated scores. He was fascinated by how rhythm & melody informed the skaters' styles. These videos introduced him to hiphop, and showed him the invaluable merit of music.
