I absolutely love going to concerts/festivals/shows. Invite me to a show and I am there. Whether I know the artist or not, I am always down to hearing something new. There’s something about going and hearing the music live in the flesh creates a different experience for myself. Taking the time to actually hear everything and jamming, vibing for a great music high. I love it. I’m a relatively new concertgoer. My first show ever was @wearephenox right after I graduated from high school in 2013 at the @echo stage.  Once I went to that one, there was no turning back and I have been going to shows ever since.

Hands down, my favourite show ever to date was in Aug 2015, just a week before I did my big trip abroad. Never forget. I saw Janelle Monae and her entire crew from Wondaland. That particular summer, they came out with a collective ep called The Eephus (great EP btw). They were doing this “secret” tour across the country in 8 cities all for free. You just had to RSVP in time. Y’all, let me tell you…I never have seen such an energetic crowd and/or performance ever. And I am not just talking about the main singers, but the bandmates, the backup singers, the dances, like everyone was so in tune. You could tell the performers were doing this all for love.  And the crowd was wildin’. They received the music so well. You can tell that many of us have never heard of the majority of these artists but when I walked out of there at the end of the night, I was in absolute awe. I followed all the artists soon after and streamed all of their music. And ever since then, no show I have seen since then has topped that. Not even close.

Last few days in Cali, I saw Kung Fu Kenny accompanied DRAM and YG with these lovely ladies. It was absolutely amazing and I lost my voice and it was hella dry by the end of the night but it was a great show. Would 10/10 see them again any day.  

The last show I went to was back in October when I saw Goldlink and also found my new obsession, Masego. Did yall know that Masego is a radio host on one of GTA V radio stations?! Crazy but that show was amazing from beg to end. I need to see them again.

Some artists that I want to see, but hard to see due to the location includes 20syl (only plays in France), Epik High (mostly performs in Seoul and big cities in Asia), Deadmau5 (his ass never has shows in the US unless it’s in like California or Miami)

It’s been 5 months since my last one and I am having some withdrawals. Probably won’t be going to any major concerts/festivals due to my upcoming travel plans, but if anyone knows of any small shows that I should check out in the month of May in DC, let me know and let’s go.
