In this episode of The Truth in This Art, I sit down with Jenna Balderson, better known as Eyas, a Filipina musician and producer based in Baltimore, MD. Known for her genre-blending sound that merges indie-pop, jazz, RnB, and folk, Jenna discusses the journey behind her debut EP, Quiet Loud, set for release on November 22nd.We explore how her music transforms personal emotions into art, creating what she describes as the "sonic equivalent of a collage." Jenna also shares stories about her inspirations—from Fleet Foxes and Björk to recent influences like Saya Gray—and opens up about collaborating with fellow Baltimore artists like JPEGMAFIA and Micah E. Wood. Plus, she gives us a behind-the-scenes look at Quiet Loud, a deeply personal EP featuring introspective lyrics, dynamic soundscapes, and a mix of high energy and reflective moments.Join us as we unpack the emotions, influences, and community connections that shape Jenna's music.

Our annual 4/20 episode is back, and this year? Good songs only!!! You may be surprised to hear that we were still able to find two good weed-themed winter holiday songs, but indeed: "High on Hanukkah" by Micah E. Wood (featuring Ari Pluznik and Seth Kibel) is an enjoyable ode to holiday paranoia, and "Kushmas" by Smino is... well, surely it's about something, but that's sort of beside the point. The ranking music in this episode is "Sleigh", also by Smino (featuring Monte Booker and Masego)!

How does Tribe 55, a group of Black Women artists aged 55+ amplify its message? With their new exhibit ‘Seen. Heard. Common Ground.' It opens at JELMA on Morgan State Campus. Dr. Schroeder Cherry, curator, and Stacey Cruise, Tribe 55 member give us a preview. Plus, Baltimore Beat's arts and culture editor Teri Henderson offers her picks in music and art!  Links: JELMA, Seen. Heard.

About the guestChristopher Chester is a multidisciplinary designer with a demonstrated history of working in the marketing and advertising industry. He studied graphic design at The Maryland Institute College of Art. Skilled in Identity & Print Design, Product Design, Photography, Project Management, and Communication. His goal revolves around consistent learning, while contributing to a community with a diverse voice, both in life and design.Micah E Wood's portrait photography flows with the vibrancy of the Baltimore music scene. Exploding with color, the work builds a sense of belonging and intimacy to the subject that can only be achieved by a thorough understanding of the specialness and sense of place in Baltimore. His portrait work from 2012-2016 culminated in his book ‘Features', in which Micah turns his gaze adoringly on his favorite artists. Over the past eight years, Micah has only continued to document individuals of the microcosmic Baltimore music scene, such as emerging hip hop artists such as JPEGMAFIA to underground post punk bands to electropop legend Dan Deacon.Micah disarms people, and curates intimate moments with the artists he photographs, and you can see that in his work. His approach to using light as a 3-dimensional or sculptural form on the human is a playful feature that links both his portrait and landscape work.To find more amazing stories from the artist and entrepreneurial scenes in & around Baltimore, check out my episode directory.The Truth In This ArtThe Truth In This Art is a podcast interview series supporting vibrancy and development of Baltimore & beyond's arts and culture.Mentioned in this episodeChristopher J.

Micah E. Wood (@MicahElie) & Christopher J. Chester (@Christojchester) join us this week to discuss the music scene in Baltimore, Micah's new self-titled album, photo etiquette at concerts, and more. Also, Youcef was supposed to order a fourth mic, but it turns out he never actually hit the purchase button. So the audio is a bit echo-y at times, and you should tweet at him and tell him how bad he sucks.

This week we're joined by singer, songwriter, producer, photographer, and all-around Renaissance man Micah E. Wood (@micahelie) to talk about his creative process, the close-knit Baltimore music scene, and the difference between Greyhounds and Weimaraners.

Bobbi Rush loves music she can cry to -- and the singer/songwriter strives to make work her listeners will feel deeply. Bobbi was born and raised in Baltimore, and in February she released “Miles,” produced by Micah E. Wood, which marked a departure from her gospel roots. The daughter of writers and musicians, Bobbi talked about growing up in the church, being a hopeless romantic and starting over.

Hear more from Micah on photographing fellow musicians to develop his freelance career, the importance of creative exchanges between artists, redefining "studio time," authentic self-promotion, and asking for what you want.    Patreon  beyondthe.studio Intro Music by: Suahn Album Cover by: David Colson
