The next year, AHI attended the DIY Musicians Conference Presented By CD Baby in Nashville. There his music caught the attention of NPR's Bob Boilen who personally asked AHI to perform a Tiny Desk Concert. It's a significant gig to get, in general, but for an independent artist seeking a following, it's monumental. Clad in his trademark stage uniform of an equestrian helmet and all-black clothes, AHI's Tiny Desk performance is captivating and feels like a turning point in his career.
