Up Close & Personal: The Sound Suite at W Seattle
We kicked off the year by bringing you closer than ever to the artists you love. Our exclusive Sound Suite sessions at the W Seattle delivered unforgettable moments:
HAYLA’s Intimate Performance: Fresh off her chart-topping success with “Visions of You,” Hayla treated our listeners to an incredibly personal performance, sharing stories and stripped-down versions of her hits in an intimate setting. It was a truly special experience to connect with the artist behind the year’s biggest track.
TOKiMONSTA’s Sonic Journey: The visionary artist TOKiMONSTA graced the Sound Suite, offering an exclusive glimpse into her unique sound and creative process. Her session was a masterclass in innovation, leaving everyone in attendance inspired.
Celebrating & Empowering: See Her Be Her
International Women’s Day took on a whole new meaning with “See Her Be Her”, an event produced on Saturday March 8th in collaboration with MMBASSY! It was a powerful day dedicated to celebrating and empowering women in music and beyond. We hosted insightful panels with industry leaders, followed by an exhilarating night of music featuring an all-female lineup of incredible DJs and artists. The energy was electric, and the message of support and equality resonated deeply within the c89.5 community.
