Veep, House of Cards, and Scandal are all incredible programs, but they only show you what you already know about DC—that it’s a hilarious, but often horrifying, political circus. Of Music and Men is a fresh take on the millennial journey that uses one of the most diverse, transient cities in the world to tell a unique story of the true American dream through the lens of an all-American girl.
Of Music and Men is the story of a kid from DC struggling to build an indie record label. Kenya Shaw is a chronically single, young entrepreneur navigating the country’s worst city for bachelorettes.
So I mean... humble beginnings doesn’t begin to describe my journey with this burgeoning multimedia franchise, and it’s steadily trekking toward its full potential. In fact, I have plans for many different experiences within this universe. But right now, in preparation for the scripted half-hour program, I'm publishing 12 short books that read just like each episode of season one of the forthcoming show. Episode one of the novella series will be available in August of this year.
Of Music and Men uniquely tackles some of life’s biggest experiences and dilemmas with humor and thought in each of its episodes, such as how and why we plan, ageism, dating in the digital age, and what it really means to be a grownup, just to name a few.
Through the lives of perfectly depicted DC residents—ethnically, socially, economically, and educationally diverse characters—we experience our Nation's Capitol in a way we’ve never seen it before!
