The prompt was simple––create a 90-second audio piece that encapsulates you as a person. My mind drifted straight to my experience growing up in New York City. Music made me fall in love with both the city and myself. As someone who has lived in the city for seven years, I’ll take the liberty to call myself a New Yorker and say that the city definitely has its lows. The subways aren’t the cleanest, there’s garbage on the streets, and rats and mice are a common sighting. However, amidst that chaos, there is beauty, perseverance, and passion. For me, this was evident through the melodies in the subways, on the streets, and at the concert venues. So, if you're curious to see NYC through my eyes, I invite you to listen to the audio postcard below!
