In the coming days, we will be sharing some in-depth artist profiles with you, written by Jordan Levin – a creative writer and journalist who has been chronicling Miami’s performance scene for over 20 years.
These profiles offer an in-depth look at how some of Miami’s creative gems keep on shining. We hope that you enjoy reading them and learning more about their behind the scenes process.
Peace and Love,
