Quavo

About Quavo ​

Website | Facebook | Instagram

Quavious Keyate Marshall, best known as Quavo, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, ​

record producer, actor, athlete, and entrepreneur, renowned as a pivotal member of the iconic rap group Migos hailing from Atlanta. His work with Migos has established him as a prominent figure in the music industry, with the group reaching #1 on the Billboard charts and breaking the record formerly held by The Beatles. Quavo has been featured on several top 10 hits with artists ranging from Post Malone, Justin Bieber, DJ Khaled, Madonna, Young Thug, Travis Scott, and more. In addition to his musical achievements, he has appeared in shows such as Donald Glover's "Atlanta," "Ballers," "Black-ish," and the film "Savage Salvation" alongside Robert De Niro, as well as recently in "Praise This." ​

Quavo frequently participates in celebrity football and basketball games and engages in philanthropic endeavors, such as hosting his annual Huncho Day celebrity charity football game to give back to youth in the community and his Ultimate Back 2 School event in Atlanta. Quavo has also embarked on a flourishing solo career, showcasing his versatility through a series of innovative collaborations that transcend traditional rap boundaries. His recent partnerships with artists such as Lana Del Rey, Peso Pluma, Lenny Kravitz, Teddy Swims, and Luke Bryan highlight his ability to authentically blend genres, creating unique sounds that resonate across diverse musical landscapes. ​

In July 2024, Quavo teamed up with Lana Del Rey to release “Tough,” a country-trap fusion that seamlessly melds Del Rey’s melancholic style with Quavo’s rap artistry. The accompanying music video portrays the duo as a guitar-loving, shotgun-toting couple, bonding over life’s hardships and sharing intimate moments. Following this, Quavo collaborated with rock icon Lenny Kravitz on the track “FLY,” a reimagined version of Kravitz’s 1998 hit “Fly Away.” This rendition features newly recorded vocals from Kravitz, complemented by Quavo’s distinctive style and melody, bringing an electrifying energy to the classic song. Most recently he collaborated with Luke Bryan and Teddy Swims for the home state anthem “Georgia Ways”. On December 7, 2024, in Los Angeles, Quavo was honored with the Humanitarian of the Year Award at the Variety Hitmakers gala. This recognition celebrates his dedication through The Rocket Foundation, a nonprofit he founded in 2022 in memory of Kirsnick Khari Ball. The foundation is committed to addressing and ending gun violence in America by supporting and investing in effective interventions that reduce community violence, allowing communities to thrive. 

Chase Rice

About Chase Rice ​

Website| Facebook | Instagram ​

With more than 2.6 million albums sold and over 2.8 billion total streams, plus a legion of passionate fans at his high-energy concerts across the globe, Chase Rice has established himself as a powerful force in Nashville and beyond. With independent album Go Down Singin’ available everywhere now as the follow-up to the critically acclaimed I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, and both brought together on brand new offering Fireside Sessions, Rice’s sound continues to evolve to reflect the realities of his life; from emotional reckoning to an admiration of the American West.  ​

The new music serves as a follow up to his three-part project, The Album, which featured his latest Platinum-certified No. 1 hit, “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” and the Platinum-certified Top 10 hit “Lonely If You Are.” This is the same gravelly-voiced Chase Rice fans first fell in love with years ago –but better, freer; unbeholden and uninhibited. The new music builds upon the success of his sophomore album, Lambs & Lions, which featured the 3x Platinum, two-week chart topper “Eyes On You” –Rice’s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career. Lambs & Lions followed Platinum-certified Ignite the Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits; Platinum-certified “Gonna Wanna Tonight” and Double Platinum “Ready Set Roll.” In addition to guesting on sold-out stadium shows with Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks, Rice served as direct support on Dierks Bentley’s 2024 Gravel & Gold Tour and consistently sells out venues on his own headlining tours across the U.S. and beyond.
