Detroit native Allee Willis may not be a household name, but the impact of her work is undeniable. A multi-award-winning songwriter and multimedia artist, Willis is best known for penning iconic hits such as the theme song for Friends and classics with Earth, Wind & Fire. Her recent creation, The D, is a love letter to her hometown—a musical tribute that captures the spirit and resilience of Detroit and its people.
At Grosse Pointe Music Academy, we’re always moved by projects that use music to build community and spark imagination. Willis’ vision for The D isn’t about rebuilding brick by brick, but about reimagining Detroit’s story through creativity and collaboration. Her work reminds us of the power music holds in shaping identity and uniting people across generations.
We’re proud to see artists like Allee Willis channeling their talents into projects that uplift and inspire. Detroit’s cultural heartbeat continues to be strong—and music is at the very center of it.
