**Off the Record** tells the story of Kiana, an eighteen-year-old from Crenshaw trying to stay afloat amid the noise of life. Between her mom working double shifts and bills piling up, Kiana's focus is survival-not chasing dreams. Music is just something she does in secret, recording late at night when the world is quiet.
Everything changes when she meets 22-year-old R\&B artist Brent Faiyaz, who recognizes a raw, honest talent beneath her guarded exterior. As their worlds collide behind the scenes, Brent challenges Kiana to believe in herself and take a chance on her voice. But stepping into the spotlight means facing fears Kiana never imagined-and deciding if she's ready to let the world hear her truth.
Rooted in the pulse of the city, *Off the Record* is a coming-of-age journey about friendship, self-discovery, and the unexpected love that finds you when you least expect it.
