About our Community Artist-In-Residence

The Mann is thrilled to announce our 2023 Community Artist-In-Residence: Chill Moody, a hip-hop artist, entrepreneur, and activist based in West Philadelphia. He was named 'Best Rapper' by Philadelphia Magazine and is the official Philadelphia Music Ambassador as named by City Council. Moody, a graduate of Overbrook High School in Philadelphia, will not only be a guest and contributor to many of our education programs throughout the year, sharing his style, creative spirit, and industry experiences directly with Philadelphia’s youth, but will also play an integral role in this season's events celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, including this series.

About Downstage @ the Mann

Hosted and co-curated by Community Artist-in-Residence Chill Moody, this season's Downstage series celebrates the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. Each performance will feature Chill Moody and a guest artist, highlighting various pillars of hip-hop culture, such as DJing, dance, visual art, and storytelling. Other concerts in this series are Philly Pillars & Pioneers on August 10 and The Art of Storytelling on October 11.

Downstage @ the Mann Presented by Cadillac places both audience and artists together in the same space, on the Presser Foundation Stage in our TD Pavilion, for an up-close, under cover, open-air setting. This intimate, in-the-round experience offers a new level of performance, engagement, and immersion. Downstage debuted in 2022, earning a 'Best of Philly' award from Philadelphia Magazine.
