From Grammy Stages to Kansas City Creative Economy
Jo Blaq left Kansas City because the infrastructure for a music career didn't exist. He went to LA, built one anyway — Grammy nominations, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, private jets — and then came back. Now he's building what he calls ground zero for creatives, a multimedia creative hub in the Crossroads designed to change the equation: world-class tools, real career pathways, and a community built to keep Kansas City's talent home instead of exporting it. This is creative infrastructure as economic development — and Jo believes Kansas City is ready. https://www.distrkct.com/home
