The night started with DJ Destroyer setting the mood in high fashion. Yet another great set! 1st up on the stage, Chris Young. The crowd was really diggin his style and his creativity. He ended the set with a song I really love Focus feat Nikko Gray. Nikko stayed on stage to go into her own seamless set...
Nikko is one of my favorite artists right now. She's got it all, the voice, the pen, the personality, the looks and the girl is a great nail artist who makes some dope jewelry to boot. Nothing like a woman who is creative and limitless.
The night ended with a stellar performance by Taylor McFerrin. It was an entirely improved set showcasing all sides of his musicianship. Some of the things he can do live really stretch the imagination. I cant wait to see how his live show develops as he adds songs and starts releasing full albums. A highlight of the set...McFerrin being joined on stage by his label mate, pianist Austin Peralta, while their Brainfeeder family, including Flying Lotus and Thundercat looked on. In his introduction of Peralta, McFerrin said that they'd met that day...but what they did together on that stage, with Austin on keys and Taylor on the beat box (which doesn't begin to describe what he does) was pure magic.
Here's a little more of The Love Summit fun, plus a vid...
The lovely girls who have teamed up to create KleurME, Nikko Gray included, were also on hand doing nail art. Visit their site! They are really creative women and the stuff they come up with...DOPE!
I also grabbed a couple rings designed by Ms. Gray herself. Hotness!!!
