CHICAGO SUMMER VOL. 3
ZIA JENAYE TAKES LOLLAPALOOZA
The Chicago youth are officially 3 for 3 (really 4 for 4) with the summer EP’s. Their newest EP, ‘Chicago Summer Vol. 3’ is out now on Soundcloud. The project consists of four tracks featuring members, old and new. Artists include veteran acts such as Baby Virgo, Brookie Cookie & Hannah Banana, as well as newer members like Marquea AKA QuayQuay. This summer was different than previous summers, with it being my first summer as a part-time employee. Even with less time to program with the youth, we were still able to push out a solid project that reflects our short and sweet summer.
Zia Jenaye has been having one heck of a summer with back to back shows! One of the most notable shows, however, was last weekend at Lollapalooza. The John Walt Foundation, one of our partners had a small stage at Lolla, showcasing Chicago youth artists. Zia and her backup dancers put on a captivating performance in front of the Buckingham Fountain. On top of being a performer, Zia’s artist pass gave her the opportunity to meet and interview celebrities such as Bossman Dlow, Isaiah Rashad, Doechii and more. We are so proud of Zia. It can only go up from here.
