EMBRACING ALL FORMS OF ARTISTRY: A CONVERSATION WITH LOCAL DJ JEROME BAKER III Despite the slowdown most people and systems all over the world are facing because of Covid-19, Jerome Baker III hasn’t stopped creating, DJing and learning. Many of us are leaning into this newfound time at home to take up a new project or skill, and Baker is no exception.
