The Story behind the Greater Impact House Project:

When producer and composer (Greater Alexander) experienced suicidal thoughts because of his depression, he says creating his music saved his life.

Paying it forward, he rescued an abandoned house blocks from the Motown Museum in Detroit, to make it an artists’ residency and creative hub for established musicians and artists to flourish physically and mentally.

“Our unique goal for Greater Impact House is to provide a space free of the influence from vices like alcohol, cannabis, gaming, gambling and more, so artists have a cathartic experience with their authentic selves while creating their art,” said Vlachos.”

Vlachos and partner Karianne Spans-Hanna, who has a Masters in Art Therapy and degree from the college for Creative Studies in Detroit, are busy fundraising to complete renovations to the 3,600 square foot house, built in 1911.
