Genre: Electro-folk rock
Favorite tracks: “Play It Right,” “Dreamy Bruises” and “Coffee”
Similar sounds: Dirty Projectors, Purity Ring, Kimbra, St. Vincent
Inspired look: Sylvan Esso’s music video for “Coffee” is pouring with stellar vintage-inspired goodies. While not all of the looks are 100% wearable, some peter pan collars and circle skirts certainly made the cut.

Something you should know about me is that I drink coffee like any regular human being drinks water to survive. Naturally, when I heard of an event called “Creative Mornings,” where free coffee was being served, I was on board.
Creative Mornings, a breakfast lecture series for the creative community, has expanded to 87 cities internationally since its New York City conception in 2008. The pseudo-TED talk welcomes a monthly speaker to host a 20-minute session about their passions, projects, and ideas. In my first Creative Mornings lecture, Avra Jain inspired a packed house with her discussion on the growth of Miami’s MiMo District.
