Detroit is a city that doesn't just live in history, it drives it forward. Known as the Motor City, Detroit fueled the world’s love affair with cars, rolling out innovation from assembly lines that reshaped global industry. But Detroit didn’t stop there.

The Essence and History of Detroit

This is also the birthplace of Motown, the iconic sound that danced its way across the world and gave us legends like Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5, and The Temptations. Their soulful rhythms still echo through the streets, mixing with the heartbeat of a city that’s constantly reinventing itself.

While Detroit gave the world the soulful harmonies of Motown, it also sparked a musical revolution as the birthplace of techno where industrial grit met futuristic rhythm, transforming underground beats into a global movement.

Detroit is bold, gritty, and beautifully resilient. It’s a place where murals bloom on brick walls, where creativity spills out of historic buildings, and where the people greet each other with a proud “What up doe?”  a phrase that carries warmth, defiance, and pride all at once.

Whether you’re strolling the Detroit Riverwalk, soaking in world-class art at the DIA, or vibing to underground music in a hidden speakeasy, you’ll feel it: this city moves to its own rhythm and you’re invited to dance along.
