Singing for tips in Rittenhouse Square helps Tyree Kadle to carve out a living doing what he loves.
With sirens, construction, and seemingly non-stop horn-honking, the noise of Philadelphia can drown out just about any other sounds.It's the sound of the opera, sung with a melodic voice that reverberates across the streets and bounces off the buildings. That voice belongs to Tyree Kadle.
He wore a green t-shirt and dust-colored slacks with a pair of black sneakers as he sang his heart out to those passing by. He's been singing at the corner of 18th and Walnut streets for three months. Kadle says he's turning the corner into an unexpected opera house. "I didn't always know I could sing. I mean I always loved to sing but I didn't always know I always could sing," said the 31-year-old.
