If you’re born in Detroit rhythm is a God given instinct. So between 2013 and 2016 I took ten trips home to record “THE D”, the unofficial official theme song to accompany the city’s rapid re-invention, at 60 sing-alongs all over the city. The soon-to-be-released record and video feature more people than have ever been on a record in history – 5000+ including a plethora of Detroit born celebrities.
Click any of the photos below to see who and where we recorded.
