You came out in 6 degree weather....

For Love.Gratitude. Community. Legacy.

Thank you to everyone who came out on December 14th to celebrate I Heard The City Breathe.
Braving the cold to be present, to listen, to feel, and to show love did not go unnoticed. Your energy filled the room and transformed the space into something truly special.

We are deeply grateful for the familial presence, the joy, the conversations, and the collective spirit that made the night unforgettable. Every smile, every exchange, every moment of connection reminded us why this work matters and why community is at the heart of everything we create.

The I Heard The City Breathe album is officially live on EVEN 🎶
👉 Link is in the bio — we’d love for you to experience the music and continue the journey with us.

And this is just the beginning…
More behind-the-scenes content is on the way, and music videos will be dropping very soon. Stay tapped in.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for being part of this moment and this movement.

With love & gratitude,
Brian “7METRIX” Sykes
