When asked about her inspiration for such an event, Domonique shared that she wanted to showcase and give a platform to Detroit’s celebrated artists. Before, Detroit marked 313 days by celebrating businesses.
“Given the current climate of the Detroit entertainment industry, its undeniable buzz, and national recognition, it was almost impossible to not shift the focus to Detroit’s very own talented individuals,” Domonique said. “Everyone involved with this show from east to west is Tied in with City of Detroit and reps 313.” She continued to remark on how these artists spent long days and nights working to be respected in the music industry.

Payroll Giovanni also spoke to the media outlet, sharing,
“313 day is important to me because it shows the growth in the Detroit music scene. We used to pay artists to let us open up for them and our sound wasn’t accepted by the masses. Now we’re doing our own concerts and we have different fan bases traveling from all over the world to see us.”
HaHa Davis and Justin Floyd will be hosting the show. Other artists set to perform are Babyface Ray, Jugg Harden, Peezy, Skilla Baby, and Front Paije. Active Minds and AFLN are presenting “Tied in 313 Day” with Shell Shock’d Tacos manning the catering. Black-owned cannabis brand Viola is also a sponsor.
