(light airy music) (light airy music continues) (light airy music continues) (light airy music continues) (light airy music continues) (light airy music continues) We are coming back from that mellow, moving groovin' sound from Saxappeal, and now we're sitting down with Saxappeal.

How are you doing?

- Hey, I am good.

How are you?

- Good, good.

- Awesome.

- And what attracted you to the saxophone?

- (laughs) So the funny story about my humble beginnings is I learned, or I was focused on playing from watching The Simpsons.

I was inspired from watching Lisa Simpson play.

- [Satori] And how has Detroit shaped you and then consequently shaped your music?

- [Saxappeal] I think Detroit builds character for anybody who's here, but as a creative, I think it's the pillar of your creativity.

I really feel like this city has not only molded me, but it helps me to create in a very vulnerable mindset.

I am four records in now.

I just put a single out just last year, back in April.

That song was nominated for a Grammy.

So, I was thankful for that.

I was able to have two Grammy nomination categories for that.

So, you know, we're just gonna keep building from there, and just keep moving.

- Well, thank you so much, Saxappeal.

- Appreciate you.
