About me:
Elevation is on its way to achieving legendary status. Founded 3 years ago by Sky Children members Jackson Perry and DJ Graffiti at Ann Arbor’s premier jazz club The Firefly, it has become the “place to be” on Sunday nights in Southeast Michigan. DJ Graffiti along with NowOn (Jackson Perry, Haircut and IX Lives) held it down at The Firefly for the first year of operation before NowOn relocated to Los Angeles. Fellow Sky Children members Buff1 (of Athletic Mic League) and DJ Benny Ben were asked by Graffiti to step up in NowOn’s place. With sold out crowds nearly every week, and with celebrities frequently visiting Elevation, it began to gain much press attention in the Midwest and it’s still going strong today in Ann Arbor.
This past April after nearly 2 years in LA NowOn announced the grand opening of Elevation (West) at The Room 5 Lounge in Los Angeles. Already Elevation (West) is the ONLY place in LA where on any given Sunday you can see several PREMIER Hip-Hop acts on one stage for only Five Bucks. Now catch The Sky Children’s “ELEVATION” on both coasts…
"Ann Arbor Hiphop's finest come together to create a weekly lounge night at the famous Firefly Jazz Club."
