"Taking over shine, taking over the shooting star! All I was talking about was music!" In May of 1929, the streets of Harlem boomed in grace every weekend with the strong voices of its inhabitants and the curation of a culture that'd inspire generations of music afterwards. (Y/N) (L/N), a jack-of-all-trades theatrist, planned to be in the dead center of that history. With talents spanning from music to theater to dancing to modeling, she was sure to grab the attention of someone that'd help her take off.
