Among these names that arrived at the carpet, some names that stopped for a chat at the carpet included Tyla, Paris Hilton, Anthony Hamilton, Rita Wilson, Nicki Nicole, Mike Sabath, Stevie Mackey, Reba McEntire and many more.
Here’s what some of the artists shared:
Stevie Mackey
The Knockturnal: Hi, how are you doing?!
Stevie Mackey: I’m doing amazing. What’s up?!
The Knockturnal: That’s good, you look great! What are you most looking forward to within your career and your personal life?
Stevie Mackey: Thank you! I am really looking forward to how we’re talking about AI, and people are scared of it. But I want musicians to really get ahead of it. Use it for good, really seeking and finding inventive ways to use AI with your creativity. Not fight it ,but learn how to use it so it helps the future. What can it do, to help you and that is going to be magic. Don’t be afraid of it!
Anthony Hamilton
The Knockturnal: Hi how are you doing?!
Anthony Hamilton: I’m good, how are you love?
The Knockturnal: I am doing good, I wanted to know is there anyone you are most looking forward to seeing tonight perform?
Anthony Hamilton: Lauryn Hill. I want to see her, and what she is going to do for D’Angelo, who was a good friend of mine. Roberta flack, and to see how they celebrate those guys.
Tyla stopped to chat and shared her excitement about winning her second Grammy, and the recognition and availability to put more creative input into “PUSH 2 START”. As well, shared what’s new for her, which is A-Pop, her new album.
Paris Hilton, mentioned how proud she is, on her project “Infinite Icon”, and the inspiration it has been for many. This lead Hilton to mention that this film is her “most personal project” she has done so far. Many should expect a third album soon, as she has been working in the studio with exciting music to come.
When I first opened Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir, “The Chronology of Water,” I could not get myself to stop reading. I felt like I was gulping down each chapter, and wouldn’t feel satiated until I had finished them all. I had never read anything like it; nonlinear, feral, unflinchingly honest, poetic, raw, dark as hell, and fascinating, both in the life it chronicled and in the way Yuknavitch chose to tell it.
Korean musician YVES has been making music that leads with introspection, restraint, and sincerity, and her most recent release, Soft Error: X, is a prime example of that.
Walking into the International Ballroom at the Beverly Hilton on December 15, it was immediately clear this was not a typical ballet setting. American Ballet Theatre’s annual Holiday Benefit placed the audience unusually close to the dancers, creating a beautiful and intimate environment. Dancers, artists, longtime supporters, and guests including Sterling K. Brown and Ryan Michelle Bathé filled the room alongside ABT leadership and principal dancers, blurring the line between performance and gathering.
Following the release of her new single “Radio,” rising pop artist Cate Tomlinson spoke with The Knockturnal about embracing authenticity and evolving her sound.
