Armando Christian Pérez, Pitbull, invites disruption on a global scale as a GRAMMY® Award-winning independent international superstar, education ambassador, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. With billions of audio streams and video views, along with hundreds of gold and platinum certifications, his career stands as one of the most impressive in music history. Pitbull’s signature “EEEEEEEYOOOOOO” grito (yell) is one of fewer than 40 sound trademarks protected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).  In 2024, Pitbull teamed up with rock legend Bon Jovi for the powerful “Now or Never,” blending his signature high-energy sound with Bon Jovi’s anthemic rock style. The unexpected collaboration quickly gained traction, proving Pitbull’s ability to seamlessly merge genres and create global hits that transcend generations. Pitbull continues to push boundaries and inspire millions worldwide, marking a profound cultural impact and unique legacy across entertainment, business, education, and beyond. 

The career of the multitalented CHRIS “LUDACRIS” BRIDGES can best be described as remarkable. As a recording artist, he has sold more than 24 million albums worldwide, thanks to the blockbuster success of such singles as “Stand Up,” “Get Back,” “Southern Hospitality,” “Number One Spot,” “Money Maker” and “My Chick Bad.” All of these records were accompanied by ingenious videos that demonstrated Bridges’ far-reaching imagination, and his willingness to stretch the boundaries of what rap videos should look and feel like. 

With an unrivaled match of lyrical acumen, wit, and imagery, Ludacris has solidified himself as one of music’s premier entertainers. His versatility and artistic complexity also enabled him to make a seamless transition to acting, including the fan favorite role of “Tej” in Universal Pictures’ box office phenomenon Fast & Furious franchise where he was introduced for the first time in 2003 in 2 Fast 2 Furious.  He will reprise his role of “Tej” for the seventh time in Fast X, which is set to release May 20, 2023.  

His other notable feature film credits include Garry Marshall’s ensemble comedy New Year’s Eve, Ivan Reitman’s romantic comedy, No Strings Attached, Paul Higgin’s Crash which received an Academy Award for Best Picture in 2006 and Hustle & Flow which earned Bridges a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.   

Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, actor and author Ashanti burst onto the music scene
with her smash hit, self-titled debut album, Ashanti. It landed the #1 spot on both the Billboard
Top 200 and R&B album charts, selling a whopping 504,593 units in its first week. This set a
SoundScan record as the most albums sold by any debut female artist in the chart’s history and
granted her a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Over the span of her 20 year career,
Ashanti has released six studio albums and received a number of illustrious rewards including
eight Billboard Awards, a Grammy, two American Music Awards, two Soul Train Awards and six
ASCAP Awards. She has reigned at the top as one of Billboard’s “Top Females of the Decade from
2000-2010” and continues to break Billboard records having a Hot 100 entry every decade in the
2000’s, 2010’s and 2020’s.

Born into a Jamaican-American family in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, Shawn Mims grew up influenced by the rappers just south of him, in Harlem. Despite the fact that he lost both parents by the time he was 13, Mims focused on music (his mother had given him his first set of DJ equipment shortly before she died) and school to keep himself out of trouble. Though he briefly attended community college, Mims decided if he truly wanted to make it as a rapper he needed to drop out, a move that paid off career-wise: he was soon featured on the song “Love Em All” by Canadian group Baby Blue Soundcrew, which was nominated for Best Video in the 2001 Much Music Awards. “I Did You Wrong” came out in 2003 thanks to help from the Miami-based production team the Blackout Movement, and in 2006 the rapper, who was now going by MIMS, independently released the single “This Is Why I’m Hot.” The song did well enough on local radio stations, including New York’s Hot 97, to garner attention from major labels, including EMI/Capitol, which released MIMS’ full-length debut, Music Is My Savior, in 2007. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi

Curb Records recording artist Dylan Scott is a triple threat — a powerful vocalist with a deep, unmistakable drawl, an old-soul songwriter with a young spirit and a family man with a tender heart. The multi-Platinum singer has notched six No. 1 singles at radio (“My Girl,” “Nobody,” “New Truck,” “Can’t Have Mine,” “Boys Back Home” with Dylan Marlowe and “This Town’s Been Too Good To Us”), as well as Top 5 hit “Hooked.” Following his first career nomination for Best New Country Artist at the all-genre iHeartRadio Music Awards and a coveted spot among Country Radio Seminar’s New Faces of Country Music, his Platinum-certified ode to his wife, “Nobody,” earned him a 2021 CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Video of the Year.

Frank Ray is a former police officer, Texas chart-topper, and bilingual recording artist opening doors for a modern Latino Country movement. Growing up both enriched in his Mexican culture, three miles from the border in New Mexico and surrounded by Country music in Texas, Frank was immersed in the best of both worlds and has been harmonizing the two since. Described as “easygoing contemporary Country with pop-soul hooks and a dash of Southwestern spice” (Rolling Stone) Frank’s music is a blend-drawing influences from ’90s Texas Country, Latin, R&B and Pop. As an entertainer, Frank delivers engaging, high-energy performances that have a little something for everyone. It’s with this cross-cultural appeal and his panorama of influences that the Los Angeles Times proclaims Ray “is looking to stretch Country music’s cultural boundaries.”
