@joypostell was living in LA when the news broke of Freddie Gray’s death in her hometown, Baltimore. “I was in a state of panic,” she said. On social media, Joy saw that her city had erupted in protests against police brutality. She wanted her pain and frustration to be heard, too. So she channeled her emotions into “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot,” a song written as an ode to a lineage of young black men bonded by their unjust deaths. Music, for @joypostell, often acts as a reflection of what’s happening in the world and as a means of speaking truth to power. “You have to hold people accountable for what they’re saying,” she said. Though the themes — oppression, loss, psychic pain — are universal, her music often focuses acutely on #Baltimore, where she now lives. The city’s emerging musicians represent a collage of perspectives, aesthetics and reasons for being. Most of the artists acknowledge the influence of jazz and hip-hop in their music, even as it defies categorization. And each in their own way believes Baltimore informed their creativity. @gioncarlovalentine photographed #JoyPostell and other young independent artists who are writing Baltimore’s present, and future, into their music.
