🎵Tre. Charles wants everyone to be seen. To be heard. And to be recognized. Tune in LIVE tonight, as Tre. brings this message to the participants of “Opportunity Open Mic,” an experience for youth in a @bhc_rva community in Richmond that will include guided songwriting and performance techniques. We’ll broadcast a portion of "Opportunity Open Mic" on Instagram as @tre.charlz, a nationally touring musician, performs and creates a safe and nurturing space for aspiring artists to tap into their own creativity. This unique event is part of the sixth annual @artoberva festivities, a month-long celebration of arts and culture in the Richmond and Tri-Cities throughout October by @cultureworksrva.

“Years ago I saw artober happening in Richmond and I knew immediately that I wanted to be a part of it,” says Tre. about the idea to create "Opportunity Open Mic" with CultureWorks as part of this year’s artober schedule of events. “My goal is to provide kids with an opportunity to participate in an open mic experience and to be exposed to writing music and creating poetry at an early age. But most important, I want them to feel that other people want to see them perform. I want them to know that people want to see them and to hear them.”

For Tre., being seen and heard through music has been transformative in his own journey. Once a celebrated college basketball player, he faced a life-changing car accident after college that changed his trajectory. Throughout the course of months of rehab, Tre. began to reprioritize his career, his art, and how he wanted to use his voice to express himself and to impact others. Today, he travels the country sharing his love for music and community while offering a unique sound that effortlessly blends elements of Alt/Indie, R&B, and Soul.

🎉Join us LIVE on Instagram at 5 PM today to catch some of "Opportunity Open Mic" as part of the sixth annual artoberVA in celebration of arts and culture in the Richmond and beyond!

Talk about people who ROCK! Aaron (@arock_05) and

Talk about people who ROCK! Aaron (@arock_05) and Keisha Rock (@keisha_unafraid) created The Ground Up Podcast (@the_ground_up_podcast) that focuses on small business owners’ journey, with a focus on minority ventures in Richmond and beyond. The first episode was in-person right before April 2020 unfolded, but the transition to virtual storytelling did not phase the couple’s momentum. Richmond tuned in to this community-based podcast that uplifted “the minority voice which is the majority” and brought together people of all neighborhoods. In a time when small businesses needed the spotlight at no cost, The Ground Up Podcast delivered.⁣
⁣
The Rocks have had success in balancing remote work, having their first kid, and growing their community through the audio platform. Aaron focuses on the editing and equipment side of their business while Keisha’s charisma continues to connect Richmond inviting guests and investing in the podcast’s future. Stars such as @rubyscoopsic and @rvacheesegirl have been past guests!
⁣
The exciting future for the podcast includes becoming a Community Partner Member at St.Luke Legacy Center (@stlukelegacycenter) that will provide podcast studio space. Korrin Carter (@knckout) has recently created 3 separate spaces for small business owners and content creators to grow their own legacy. Aaron and Keisha are excited to have their own podcast space to create more video content on Youtube. We highly recommend subscribing!
