Luis Resto: At the Heart of Detroit Music

Luis Resto is a multitalented, Oscar and Grammy award-winning Detroit-based musician with the spirit of a humble genius and an affinity for giving back to his community. He has collaborated with a wildly diverse collection of accomplished artists, from Eminem to Willie Nelson. He is a microcosm of the thriving music world in Detroit. It is a city that has a sound unlike any other; it always has – from Motown to rock to jazz. As Resto says, “It’s got stank.” This is his story: His life, his inspirations, and his insights into making soul-driven music and living a heart-driven life.

And of course, thank you to Luis Resto, Pathe Jassi, and Salar Ansari, along with the remarkable musicians and welcoming folks at DeVries Cheese & Company in Eastern Market – you are all lovely. Luis now has an amazing new initiative that has been launched at the Feeder Loft downtown Detroit! The focus of their program is to provide a space and education for aspiring young artists and established musicians alike to create innovative music and bring the Detroit music community together.
