When it comes to brilliant musicians and artists, New York City is a hotbed of talent. Walk into any subway and you’re likely to find gifted and creative musicians casually singing their entire souls. That was certainly the case for music manager Danny Kang when he ran into this inspiring performer anointing commuters and blessing bystanders with his deep, rich and textured voice.
