14 things to love about Kansas City
We’ve got a Valentine. And her name is KC

Bikes(!), Boulevard Brewery’s Smokestack Series (!!)
and…. Miles Bonny !
A man of many hats, Miles Bonny is an artist, producer, label head, DJ, promoter, tastemaker, mentor, husband, and father. Since splashing onto the local hip-hop scene ten years ago with his former group SoundsGood, Bonny has proved apt at uniting different sounds, flavors, and approaches under the banner of a simple idea: make good music, and help others to do the same.
Eight years after he and Joe Good first began rocking stages in Lawrence, Bonny has founded the collective/label INnatesounds, produced for artists such as Sage Francis, Ces Cru, and Reggie B, released a gang of soulful solo trumpet/vocal material in both full-length and EP form, and held down countless recurring and non-recurring DJ nights with a master’s in ass-moving.
As likely to knock out a heat rock like Stik Figa’s “Figa Of Speech” as he is to explore the different realms of human communication (especially as it relates to love) on a solo track like “You” or “Tricycle,” Bonny has never been a chameleon. He’s simply able to reconcile the various musical identities of both himself and others and concentrate that energy on both KC and the world with a quiet intensity and infectious joy. – Phil Torpey
