Esnavi Travels To Art & Soul in the Hamptons:
A Weekend jaunt in the Infiniti QX60
When we heard that recording artist Esnavi was traveling to Art & Soul in the Hamptons to perform, we knew this had all the makings of a wonderful Le Car style road trip. Esnavi and her husband Elijah Bland drove an Infiniti QX60 Autograph over a dreamy summer weekend and documented their journey.
Check out Esnavi’s music. We recommend “The Way” available on streaming platforms and look out for her September shows to catch her live. We caught up with Esnavi after their journey.
What did you think of the Hamptons and the Art & Soul Agenda?
I love the Hamptons! I've been there several times, but this trip for Art & Soul: Hamptons was extremely special. Not only because I performed at the event, but because of the impact and importance of recognizing BIPOC artists in the Hamptons. The event was an amazing cultural experience filled with live music, an art walk, soulful cuisine, curated cocktails, shopping black-owned businesses and learning about the Native American Shinnecock Tribe. This was the highlight of my summer!
Where did your trip start and where did you go? Our trip started from our home in Fort Lee, NJ and we drove to Southampton, NY.
What did you listen to in the car? We listened to a variety of jazz -- David Benoit, Wayman Tisdale, Herbie Hancock and Robert Glasper.
Anything stand out to you about the ride?
It was exceptionally smooth and comfortable. I felt very relaxed during our trip.
Have you had any prior experience with Infiniti rides?
“I felt very relaxed during our trip”
No, this was my first time experiencing an Infiniti vehicle.
Did you notice any features in the car?
Yes! The camera option in the rear view mirror was by far the most innovative feature I've seen in a vehicle. The massaging seats and wireless Apple CarPlay were also a plus. We both were also really impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of the interior.
What do you like about road trips?
I really enjoy the peacefulness of the road and the scenic routes. I also have the time and space to literally sit still, think and enjoy the world around me. I love taking road trips!
Do you sing in the car?
Yes! Aside from singing to the songs I play, the car is like a mini studio for me. I work on new song ideas while driving and I also rehearse for performances in the car. I like to maximize my productiveness in the car in some way whether I’m the driver or passenger. So when I drive, it’s all about my vocals. Ha ha!
