Meet the Most
Interesting People
in Miami.

Year number eight for Miami New Times’ People issue is here, but that doesn’t mean we’re too mature to name a baby one of the area’s most interesting people of 2017. Famed personality DJ Khaled and his 1-year-old son, Asahd (also executive producer of the 2017 album Grateful), made the cut this year. Of course age isn’t a limiting factor. Sixty-six-year-old Phil Collins, a pioneer in modern rock and electronic music, is pictured too. So are writer, actor, model, and entrepreneur Gabrielle Union, the artist Typoe, and South Beach Wine & Food Festival founder Lee Schrager.
And that’s just a taste.

This is a once-a-year issue, so save it. That 1-year-old might be very, very big someday.
