Meet Anthony Arline; Co-Owner of Wav Village
Anthony Paul knew at a young age that he was a creative and visual artist. Becoming engrossed in watching BET (Black Entertainment Television) Cypers, an idea took root to bring that type of content to Flint. Unfortunately, while trying to decide his future and several stints in and out of college for videography, the city became known as the murder capital of the country.
Intending to change that narrative and embed himself in Flint music, Paul created FlyCy — a weekly rap cypher of Flint’s seasoned and newcomer generation of music artists and DJs. The goal became to make it known to the world that Flint could stand on the global rap stage.
As years passed and FlyCy grew beyond his initial vision, Paul took the lessons learned and understood that Flint needed a space to turn music dreams into reality. That’s when he found and joined forces with Kevin Clouds and Charlie Leff to build and create the central hub of the Flintdustry: Wav Village.
With a motto consisting of “it takes a village,” Paul is now reaching into all of Flint’s culture to create music and shift the city's wave frequency. I caught up with the studio head to talk about his humble beginnings, what it takes to create a sustainable space and Wav Village’s evolution.
