Prior to the concert, an exclusive event with M.anifest was held on Friday, April 14, where he interacted with some select students.
He talked about his journey to becoming a musician and how his time at Macalester College and living in the Twin Cities of Saint Pauli-Minneapolis helped him build his music career.
Macalester College despite its size has produced some other famous alumni including former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, actress Danai Gurira of ‘Black Panther’ fame, and super-agent Ari Emmanuel whose career loosely inspired the character Ari Gold in the American comedy-drama series ‘Entourage’.
