Vo Era and Eliki are two talented musicians who delight passengers on New York City subways while developing their professional careers above ground too.
“It’s not, ‘I’m going to get a job that I hate and pay rent forever in a place that’s horrible.’ It’s standing up for what you believe in.”
OUR INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS
We meet Vo and Eliki busking on a New York City subway.
“I think it was Nina Simone who said the duty of the artist is to reflect our time.”
“The human spirit is so powerful I think there’s a lot of people who are awaken and enlightened and see beyond what we are being fed.”
“We come on the train and people don’t want to pay us what we’re valued. Well, we created a way for ourselves.”
Months later, we miraculously hear a voice on another subway and it’s Vo, who gives us an inspiring update on his professional life.
