Akron-based Floco Torres is best known as a musician, a prolific singer/rapper/songwriter/producer who has put out so many releases — 38, he says — it’s hard to keep track. He’s also a busy performer at local venues and festivals with his hip-hop duo Free Black!
But this month he’s doing something different. East Avenue Gallery in Akron is opening his show This Creative Life, a blend of music, visual art and immersive story telling which brings his graphic designer and writing skills into the mix. It includes his handwritten lyrics, mixed-media installations, beats sequenced to visual design and more. Of course, it connects to his latest album, also called This Creative Life, reflecting its visuals and themes.
