My headphones are always on, and the music is always up. It\u2019s been one of the biggest ways I\u2019ve been able to come closer to my identity when the world makes it seem out of reach or like a bad idea to do so. Building this relationship with artists, especially Black artists, has given me so much life, and now I get to help keep their legacies alive by passing on the music to you. In honor of Black History Month, here are five musicians that remind me of my power, and some of the songs that propel me forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All The Time Always&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<section class='wp-block-html text-container'> \n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lvNQGQimpn4\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n <\/section>\n\n\n<p>Made up of Makel Clemons and Alex Restivo, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/11gvLKePCwJQ9KVOv3GN6i?si=dr6BxrGXTiCYeIlFGoNF1Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">All The Time Always<\/a> captivates your attention with sung and spoken performance over ever-evolving production soundscapes. I was briefly roommates with Makel while at Berklee College of Music, and in that time, was able to see and hear the music before it came to life. I\u2019d often come home to fully finished, recorded, and produced songs after just having been gone for a work shift &#8211; it was incredible. As someone who\u2019s seen a life before All The Time Always and a life present with them, I say with full confidence that it\u2019s better to know them. You also never have to worry about carving an hour out of your day to listen to a whole project because their four song EP <em><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/118aWzx7ThhTlJmg0XQUdm?si=G1KAoHc1SZ6HHSlqtFFQWg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Feel<\/a><\/em> is only four minutes long! For a taste of what you\u2019re getting into, watch the music video for REPETITION above. It speaks for itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Duke Ellington&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<section class='wp-block-html text-container'> \n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nkr-2NBaQIM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n <\/section>\n\n\n<p>Duke Ellington may very well be the reason I didn\u2019t realize synesthesia, specifically chromesthesia &#8211; the ability to see colors for sound &#8211; wasn\u2019t something everyone experienced. I remember reading about him as a child and he\u2019d talk about how notes sounded like different colors when played by different people and thinking to myself \u201cHe gets it, no wonder the music is incredible, he\u2019s painting jazz symphonies!\u201d I\u2019m never going to hear it in the same colors he wrote it in, but I like imagining what the palettes he heard were. As a recommendation, here\u2019s a deep-cut from the 1963 album <em><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/4rVb2K3F6BHB5aY7kg0021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Afro-Bossa<\/a><\/em>, a favorite of mine, called <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/5njxTog43Sun2RX1xC1UzQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pyramid<\/a>. Close your eyes when you listen, imagine what it must\u2019ve been like to write it, the colors you hear&#8230;it\u2019s a very eye-opening experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eryn Allen Kane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<section class='wp-block-html text-container'> \n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uImvs9X9duY\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n <\/section>\n\n\n<p>When releasing her debut two-part EP series <em><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/7sVyk1fdhhiBcguh15NN3N?si=nMTtxNmhRDiHJKS8AytczA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aviary<\/a> <\/em>in 2015<em>,<\/em> against all suggestions from industry representatives, Eryn decided on <em><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/6x5BI1UbcFoxdnl8XlmzvF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Have Mercy<\/a><\/em>, an a Capella song, as the single. Defying the odds, that move was what propelled her forward, becoming a collaborator of Chance The Rapper, Thirdstory, Noname and more. It\u2019s never just about the music for her, she has to shake the room and make you feel something. Her voice got her into the room and her spirit is what keeps her in it. It\u2019s no wonder to me that Prince happily mentored this legend in the making. Her more recently released album<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/5bl22ODAmnzfJ35n52vAQB?si=WTxUgNg7S5qdDIFZ3ejXPw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <em>a tree planted by water<\/em>,<\/a> is dedicated to and made for Black women, saying to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teenvogue.com\/story\/eryn-allen-kane-a-tree-planted-by-water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Teen Vogue<\/a>, \u201cI wanted [this project] for the world, but I always gotta talk to my sisters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Florence Price<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<section class='wp-block-html text-container'> \n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yhja_HLD1ec\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n <\/section>\n\n\n<p>As a religiously raised Arkansan, Florence had an admiration for the music she heard in church. She also was heavily interested in European Romantic composers. The combination of gospel and Tchaikovsky became known as her compositional repertoire, and led her to being the first African-American woman to be recognised as a symphonic composer and the first African-American woman to have her works performed by a renowned, major symphony orchestra in 1933. To put it simply, Florence changed the rules within and built a bigger picture. And succeeded. By herself. What more could you need out of a favorite musician? For a taste of the magic take a listen to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teenvogue.com\/story\/eryn-allen-kane-a-tree-planted-by-water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dances in the Canebrakes: I. Nimble Feet<\/a><\/em>, one of the last compositions Florence wrote before passing, meant to be a reflection of past tradition, played by the legendary African-American Pianist Althea Waites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jimmy Cliff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<section class='wp-block-html text-container'> \n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kGeCeK85sUg\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n <\/section>\n\n\n<p>And to close us off, The incredible Jimmy Cliff. There was no doubt in my mind that good ol\u2019 Jimmy was showing up on this list. A multi-instrumentalist master of reggae, soul, ska, and rocksteady &#8211; a genre invented in Jamaica around 1966. Jimmy does it all and brings every ounce of energy to each performance &#8211; not just live, but also in the booth. Listening to the &#8216;Music Magician&#8217; (a name I made for him years ago) taught me how to leave it all out there when I sing and play. He holds the Order of Merit, the highest honor granted by the Jamaican government for achievements in the arts and sciences, rightfully so. He also holds the key to my heart, but the order is more impressive. The 1970 album <em><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/3RiXb242oLrGNRtc0Va4Fd?si=O7fk_rYoQzajrUyW_Z_BwA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wonderful World, Beautiful People<\/a><\/em> is the record most scratched of his in my collection, the second song, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/1dZxI6OuzwJ283y3gOU1Kq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Many Rivers To Cross<\/a><\/em> being the most tattered up. If you need to be uplifted during a good cry, this might be a good song for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope that somewhere in here you find sounds worth listening to, stories worth learning, and ambition worth chasing. Happy Black History Month from my favorites, and from me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Yannick Eike Mirko (he\/they) is an actor, musician, editor, and writer.
