Episode 2.10: A Slave to the Music, with Naveed Stone (from band "In Loving Memory")

When was the last time you saw a brown body at the front of a rock concert? In this episode, Naveed (@naveedstone) and I sit down and talk about the importance of representation in music. Naveed is the lead singer and creator of the urban-alt band "In Loving Memory" (@inlovingmemoryny). We discuss his upbringing, addressing and overcoming insecurities as a brown body in a predominantly white space, how he came to realize his passion, fruition, and about being a "slave" to music. Naveed shares how he and bandmate Tom (@inlovingtom) have worked to connect with fans and curate their unique sound amidst various barriers.
