“My voice was doing things I never imagined it could do. I was hitting notes that I didn’t think existed for my range,” Pierre said. “I’m just really hoping the footage of me singing these songs doesn’t come out because I’m using all the techniques. Lin’s like ‘Throw the baseball!’ So I’m throwing the baseball trying to hit that high note.
“I always want my community to feel seen. I want them to feel respected. I want them to feel heard and understood. And I think the projects that I choose, that’s my small contribution hopefully to that manifesting itself,” he said.
