Sean Kingston

Kingston first burst onto the music scene in 2007 with his own unique blend of reggae, pop, rap and R&B. His first single, “Beautiful Girls,” made history with one of the fastest ascents up the charts worldwide. More Top 10 hits followed, including “Me Love,” “Take You There,” and “There’s Nothin’,” propelling Kingston’s self-titled debut album to No. 1 in 21 countries. His sophomore album, “Tomorrow,” released in 2009, reflects the growth in his life as well as in his career, resulting in a collection of positive songs that mixed eurodance with electropop and the hit single “Fire Burning.” In 2008, he received an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding New Artist. Kingston also has won a MOBO Award for Best Reggae Act, and numerous Teen Choice Awards.

Hot Chelle Rae

Fresh off their victory at the American Music Award for New Artist of the Year, pop band Hot Chelle Rae has a lot to celebrate. The single, “Tonight Tonight,” which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July, was declared “one of the catchiest pop-rock anthems of the summer” by USA Today and is still getting air time months later. The success of “Tonight Tonight” and the follow-up single “I Like It Like That,” has propelled the band and its new album “Whatever” into the spotlight. The album is filled with feel-good tunes that appeal to a wide audience..
