To celebrate the lasting contributions of Philadelphia's Black musicians, the ‘Sound of Philly Mixtape’ was created. The visual mixtape series was created by incorporating historic Philadelphia locations and muses as representations of past legends. Teddy Pendergrass’ “It’s Time for Love” is recreated by Philly Native and Musician, Mars Parker, who expressed how Teddy’s music shaped the sound of his own craft.

I executed this concept using a 35mm film camera. Mars Parker, soul musician residing in Philadelphia and Teddy P fan, expressed how the late artist influenced the sound of music and the power music has to influence generations after.
