In Too Deep

It’s February 26, 2019 and City awakes on an island 2,000 miles from his New York home. The familiar breeze kicks up memories of his childhood when he would visit family and friends and connect with a place that was as much a part of him as his LI roots. This is no ordinary island to City, and this is certainly no ordinary time. This is Carnival in Trinidad.

“Trinidad is more than a place to me; to say it’s a big part of my life and who I am is an understatement,” City says as he leans back in his chair and glances out of his office window. “There’s just something about it, an aura, that serves as a real driving force and sense of creativity for me.”

While he danced and celebrated his successes from the previous year both personally and professionally, the magic of Trinidad began to call out for more. It was there and then he began to plan his next move. One that would require the trademark hustle he had come to be known for.

Fast forward a year later. The music industry, much like the rest of the world, had been turned upside down. With shows being canceled around the globe, City knew he was approaching a make-or-break grind that would push him tremendously and put his years of experience to the test.

So grind he did, and the culmination of that work during the hardest year of his professional life is about to come to fruition.
