iLoveMakonnen headlines his first Portland Pride weekend concert

For most artists, Portland isn’t the place to relocate amid the heights of their career.

But for iLoveMakonnen, relocating to Portland from Atlanta offered a space away from the pressure and attention of the music industry, and the opportunity to explore himself.

Makonnen joins us to share more about his upcoming performance at the Pride in Demand Queer Takeover and what has kept him in Portland nearly 10 years later.
