Amidst a changing landscape, the power of thoughtful musicianship stands firm. Andre Chez has built a career grounded not in visibility, but in trust — trust earned through preparation, lineage, and a deep respect for the responsibility of musical leadership. His work reflects a philosophy shaped by lived experience, rigorous study, and a lifelong commitment to listening deeply.
Winter in New York hits differently when you can rise above it literally. I was excited to attend an exclusive first-look event at Magic Hour, NYC’s largest all-season rooftop, to experience their newest seasonal installation: Magic Hour Mountain Lodge, now open through March 2026.
The Knockturnal was invited to a holiday celebration centered on compassion, culture, and community, as hip-hop artists Cash Cobain and Bay Swag partnered with New York City dining destination Sei Less to host an intimate gathering for 45–50 teenagers from Children of Promise NYC — a nonprofit organization supporting young people whose families have been impacted by the criminal justice system.
The Knockturnal attended Casa CeCe as I continue celebrating my birthday and embracing the intensity of Scorpio Season—a time when culmination and transformation lead to new experiences. There’s no better place than New York City for magic and revelation, and on November 29th, 2025, Casa CeCe officially steps into the nightlife scene as the city’s newest fusion of supperclub, immersive theatre, and late-night escape.
The Knockturnal was invited to experience something fresh. The Blue Table Series Vol. 01, an exclusive collaboration between Manchester City and Mundial Partners, was created to re-imagine how we experience the definitely not your go-to bar-style football watch party. It was a curated experience that merged culture, all things football, and fashion into one unforgettable morning.
New York, NY — The Knockturnal was grateful to attend an intimate listening session inside the walls of Smash Studios at 307 West 36th Street, where a select gathering of radio promoters, writers, label executives, and lovers of good news came together to celebrate Jekalyn Carr’s newest album, The Legends. Hosted by Hassan James of Root Magazine, the evening was more than a preview — it was a spiritual encounter layered with reverence, joy, and divine purpose.
On Saturday, October 25th, I celebrated my birthday in a way that felt both intimate and intentional, solo, reflective, and surrounded by the kind of warmth you can only find in Harlem. The air was crisp, the city was humming, and I found myself at PB Brasserie, a French, Senegalese, and Tanzanian restaurant quietly redefining Harlem dining culture.
At the Kumble Theatre, the Women’s International Music Network (WiMN) and the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment hosted She Rocks: From Inspiration to Track, an evening of live performance, creative dialogue, and empowerment featuring Divinity Roxx, Morgan James, Miette Hope, and Aijia.
On Monday, October 20th, The Knockturnal had the pleasure of attending the exclusive launch of female-founded Desolas Mezcal’s new Reposado, held from 7–10 PM at the acclaimed ILIS in Greenpoint (150 Green St).
