Brian Oscar aka Pretty Wrcklés Founder: @stableheed Artist. Musician. Curator. Co-Director: FireHouse Music Series 8.19.17 FireHouse: Outdoor Photos by @candidready Before I started this project, I knew that I needed an AMAZING, excited, positive, Highly Optimistic, a yet realistic type of teammate to help me bring this project to life. Two years ago, Brian and I met at BottomLine Coffee when I told him that I wanted him to be apart of the project. Yet, I don't think either of us knew that it would evolve to what it is now. I have high expectations for all of my projects and ideas, but this is certainly, a pleasant surprise. Since that meeting, Brian and I have been learning each other as friends. Many inspiring conversations, rants, new ideas and projects have come to life in just a short amount of time. I'm appreciative of the genuine person that he is and I'm happy that we are able to bravely share our thoughts and new ideas frequently. Plus, the dude is simply talented. His artwork itself, stands alone. Then Brian takes it a step further and provides a slew of new music, DJ sets, produced events, plus photography and videography credits that can fill a resume by itself. I'm happy to have him as a teammate and I'm more than proud to be of the Stableheed Family & Collective. Grow Always. Be Yourself. Be Open. Be Great. Let's get it. -Stephanie-Blair

FireHouse: Outdoor August 19th, 2017 West Village, Detroit. Photos by @candidready This past weekend, the FireHouse Team pulled together another successful outdoor concert right at my home. This live recording platform for local musicians within our community, is not only interesting to watch on YouTube, but exciting to experience in person. Having to follow up with another equally 'good vibes' event within a month, is definitely work and a bit intimidating. This time around, I decided to add another teammate. I invited my friend and photographer Rose, to drive up from Cleveland to take some shots of the event and also see what's going on in Detroit. Instead, Rose steps in to help my gf Kai cook on the grill, sell the food, keep track of the money AND take photos. Teamwork and collaboration is what I truly believe in. I know that understanding that we cannot do anything alone, will help solve many of the major issues within the city and the world. To each and every one who helped with the behind the scenes, thank you. From my Birwood neighbor family cutting the grass, my mom creating my itemized budget and menu for the food, to my lady covering the food & beverage station, to Brian, Desmond, Shevonne & Stacyé always being on time, ready to work and bringing anything else that I may forget to need. 😂 As a result, our good marketing and our friends also posting/sharing the event, our turn out increased another 40%. I invite everyone to come and be apart of something positive, all the way around. I hope that you can make the next one. There will be more to come.
