Jennifer Kolis’s road to the Detroit music scene wasn’t exactly a straight path. She’s worked in business. She’s been a caregiver. She went back to school to help others. She battled ovarian cancer while her father and brother were facing cancer too. And along the way, life forced her to start over more than once.  Then came Tuesday nights. What started as a weekly “date night” with herself at loc...

A canceled guest spot turns into one of those classic Detroit mornings where the conversation goes everywhere you actually care about. We start with the real-life side of building a show: last-minute rescheduling, hitting a podcast mixer, walking up to strangers anyway, and why consistency is the only “algorithm” that never changes. Then we get into the party recap, the performances, and the kind...

A life in music doesn’t usually follow a straight line and Tony “T Money” Green proves it. We sit down with a Detroit music legend right before his 70th birthday and trace the real chain of moments that took him from a self-taught teenage bassist playing local clubs to running with The Dramatics, then landing in California and getting the phone call every musician fantasizes about: Dr. Dre asking...

A Detroit weekend can start with cookies and birthday jokes and end with a viral headline, a Lions update, and an argument about pickles and parenting. That’s exactly where we live on Road Work Records, and this drop is packed: a wild training camp story where a rude fan, a giant hat, and a perfectly timed gust of wind create the kind of instant karma you can’t script, plus birthday talk that turn...

RYN Scott is a Michigan-born artist out of Grand Rapids creating his own lane by blending rap, hip-hop, pop, folk, country rap, rock, and R&B. His music isn’t boxed in, and neither is his message. At the core of everything he does is impact.

When two powerful voices of faith come together, something special happens.

Both David and MarQ are numerous-time winners of the Detroit Music...

We’re in Detroit mode from the first second: cracking jokes, checking in on real life, and then turning the “juice” all the way up. We celebrate hitting 500 downloads and give a genuine thank you to everyone who listens, shares, and supports, then we get into the kind of honest talk you only hear on a show that isn’t trying to sound perfect, from recovery updates and physical therapy realities to...

Mama Yaya lives by one main belief: “it doesn’t matter who doesn’t believe in you… it matters if you believe in you. The rest will settle into place.” Raised in Chicago, Mama Yaya is a singer/songwriter who uses music to tell real human stories. She’s been performing since the 5th grade, taking stages across Chicago and beyond, including performing with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for the Deaf...

Detroit doesn’t do small talk, and neither do we. We start with hometown love, shoutouts, and a real Vinyl Fest recap that gets into what actually helps independent artists move product: better sound, quick vendor callouts, and DJs playing original tracks so people can buy what they just heard. We also share a proud moment for Detroit culture as our books get picked up for display at a Michigan mu...

Detroit is loud right now and not just on the speakers. We kick things off with a fast, opinionated entertainment news rundown that jumps from courtroom updates to the kind of headlines that make you double-check what’s real. We talk reputation, receipts, and how easily modern celebrity narratives get shaped by posts, screenshots, and the internet’s appetite for chaos. Then we hit tour and culture...

The best part of an awards night is what happens before the awards, when the room is still half-chaos and half-magic. We posted up live at Aretha’s Jazz Cafe for the Michigan Music Awards and let the night come to us: artists sliding in from soundcheck, crews juggling cameras, friends yelling hellos across the room, and that unmistakable Detroit grit holding it all together even when the weather d...
