The Bridge Project is a
musical and visual
documentary that displays
the arcs and gaps, between
three of Black Culture’s
most foundational elements
brotherhood, R&B, and
Gospel music. Imagine your
favorite R&B singer
collaborating with your
favorite Gospel singer to
create a body of work, and
action, that shifts the way

that make us feel

The Bridge Project: Brothers
United is a movement of
brotherhood, unity and
community with the intent
to redefine the “culture
code” that men abide by. 
The overall project is a 9-song
album that highlights the

noticed there’s a huge divide
between the genres. I said, ‘I
don’t want to live in this
anymore.’ So, The Bridge
Project tears the walls down
and says these artists can co-
exist.”

“I firmly believe that this

these fractured times,
artists can use their voices
to preach a message of
