"I like cheekbones," she said. "You know, a boy with a little Bowie going on." Lower East Side signs of life. They're not sure if you're a boy or a girl. Sipping iced coffees out on the fire escape, Roxy Music on repeat. She's spinning, writing quotes and lyrics in her notebook with pencil. He's play his guitar in the morning window light, unfinished songs about life in New York.

The unexpected encounter that slowly altered the course of their lives, to meet another artist like yourself. To each create a world of your own inside the microcosm of Manhattan, and then merge the two. No one lives in New York the way we do.
