I'm still replaying the experience I had at the Bash at the Bay Music Festival in my head.
From last year to this year, the amount of growth is unreal. The energy from the artists, the crowds, the vendors—absolutely electric. It felt like the dream it started from truly came to life. To see Corey's vision come together in such a perfect way and to hear how much this event means to him, is something truly special. So many people put in the dedication and drive to make this event happen, it was such a blessing to be a part of it and see it all come together so well!
I had the chance to reconnect and hang out with some of the most genuine hip hop artists out there, and also got to meet THE MOST beautiful soul that I have met in a while (missing your energy already girl 🫶🏼) You guys reminded me exactly why I'm pursuing this. Sharing a taste of what Dawn Talent provides (and what I hope to grow even bigger in the future) made the experience that much more special. Ryze and DLIL, I know I said it so many times already 😅, but thank you again for coming back out to the U.P!!! You gave us Yoopers the true hip-hop experience we've been craving!!! You two inspire me to keep this spark ignited!!
And to all of the talented artists that hit those stages- Each and every one of you brought your absolute all and filled that Boatyard with the most amazing music of so many different kinds! It's just about impossible to say who I enjoyed hearing more, because every set was phenomenal!
Being able to share space with such talent and passion reminded me why I started Dawn Talent in the first place—and where I hope to take it. The love, the energy, the artistry—it all fuels my drive to keep building with and for this community. 💜
