In the past, an emerging artist showcase, hosted by comedian Matt Friend, featured performances by Sephora Sounds Artists Aint Afraid, Mastercard’s Artist Accelerator Artist Cocoa Sarai, and rising stars BETWEEN FRIENDS, Teezo Touchdown, and Tiana Major9. Teezo Touchdown took the stage, delivering electrifying renditions of his biggest hits, captivating the audience with his unique style and undeniable talent.
Teezo Touchdown performed several of his biggest hits from his critically acclaimed debut album How Do You Sleep At Night?. Songs like “Mood Swings” had the crowd singing along while “Sweet” had everyone waving their hands from side to side. But things got more grounded when he performed “Impossible”, an anthem to achieving anything you want in life no matter what the haters say. After witnessing my very first Teezo performance, its safe to say he’s on track to becoming a superstar.
Tiana Major9 graced the stage before Teezo Touchdown and provided fans with an amazing performance of “Same Space?” and her hit single from the Queen & Slim film “Collide”.
As celebrities filled the venue, the energy soared, underscoring the significance of events like this in the lead-up to the GRAMMYs. The showcase provided a platform for emerging artists to shine while highlighting the importance of recognizing and supporting new talent in the music industry.
Additionally, PEOPLE amplified the showcase, while Sephora offered make-up and touch-up stations, enhancing the overall experience for attendees. The collaboration between various entities emphasized the collective effort to celebrate creativity and innovation within the music community.
