THANKS YOU @cultured_mag for naming me one of your inaugural CULT100. It’s a surreal honor to be listed among artists whose work Ive loved and respected for a long time. Some of them include @norachipaumire @mickalenethomas @juliemehretu @aliciakeys @therealswizzz @vampireweekend and many, many more. 🖤

Introducing my band THE TRUTH Part 1 of 3! I’ve been blessed by meeting and getting to work deeply with these two geniuses to make ROBESON. I love living in the insanely beautiful sound world we’ve been building. I can’t wait for you to get to know them and the miracles they create: JOHN BITOY @blackmaninofff on all the keys KHARI LUCAS @ccontourr on the bass and the sound art 🖤

: “I sing the poetic line: ‘I’m not sorry to stop drawing my shadow into my body.’ I love singing the line because it’s a beautiful way of proclaiming that I am going to allow myself to take up vast amounts of space and I’ll be damned if anyone tries to stop me.” Davóne Tines in EBONY @alsoanoperasinger @ebonymagazine Davóne Tines, Douglas Kearney, and George Lewis talk with Delania Dixon about race and The Comet / Poppea. Check out the preview article in EBONY.

GRATITUDE. Tuesday, April 23, 2024, I made my debut at The Metropolitan Opera in a piece I love, with colleagues I love old and new. My grandmother sings a song called “On Time God” with the lyrics “He may not come when you want him, but he’ll be there right on time.” I’m here to tell you, those words are true. Thank you to my genius collaborators @_juliabullock @jnaibmezzo @metoperachorus @ypcofnyc @lileanablaincruzofficial and the entire cast and creative team. Thank you @bode for the clothes onstage and off. Thank you air, for going in about out of my lungs over and over again.
