The Motor City Singers’ Space is an interactive vocal jam session that showcases vocalists in a safe, fun, and supportive environment. Each event features a live band and we welcome singers of all talent levels to sign up to sing a song within each event's theme. The series was designed to build community and provide a cathartic outlet for artists and audience members alike!

Our mission is to use the gift of music as a vehicle to de-stigmatize the conversations of mental health within the arts and African American communities. We also seek to partner with community organizations and mental health professionals to creatively and without judgement provide psycho-education and mental health resources to our audiences and greater community.

Guests work together to sing through one of the improv jam session moments at our event in August 2018.

Interwoven within each event are moments of reflection, interactive vocal shed segments (where the microphone is passed throughout the audience), dance breaks, affirmations, fun games, and meditation.
All segments in conjunction with the live musical selections help to build camaraderie, invigorate community, and inspire creativity among an accessible and professional performance platform; with the overall goal of helping our audiences grow more comfortable in taking inventory of their own mental health.
