Artists
Big Freedia

Known as the Queen of Bounce music, Big Freedia is New Orleans-based hip-hop artist and worldwide ambassador of bounce music. After a series of cult hit singles during the mid 2000’s, she was tapped for a reality show, ​Big Freedia Bounces Back​ on Fuse TV. The docuseries followed the life of a choirboy turned bounce rapper and remains the highest rated original series on the network.

It was only a matter of time until Big Freedia caught the attention of iconic artists including Beyoncé and Drake. She was featured on both Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning single, “Formation” and Drake’s “Nice For What.”

Big Freedia released the critically acclaimed album, ‘3rd Ward Bounce’ (which featured Lizzo among others) on Asylum Records in 2018. In the summer of 2019, the Queen of Bounce debuted her limited run ice cream flavor ‘Big Freedia’s Bouncin’ Beignets’ with the ice cream giant Ben & Jerry’s. She graced the cover of ​Billboard Magazine​, and was invited by​ Vogue Magazine​ to be the official host of the Iive Instagram stream for the Met Gala.

In October 2019, Big Freedia and multi-platinum pop artist Kesha released their new pop single “Raising Hell.” The song remains on the pop radio charts and the two performed the hit song on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!

Big Freedia’s latest single “Louder” from her forthcoming project dropped in November. She is also the author of the critically acclaimed memoir, ​Big Freedia: God Save the Queen Diva!​ on Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster.

 
 
Reginald Hawkins
In combining late 20th century house sounds with explosive pop beats, pop artist Reginald Hawkins creates a soulfully rich, harmonic soundscape that can only be described as a melting pot of ingenuity. Reginald Hawkins isn’t confined to a single genre; they are a genre. Growing up between Detroit and the suburbs, Reginald got a unique take on the world by experiencing major juxtapositions in the world around them. This can be heard in their discography that resonates with a myriad of communities, sexualities, and cultures. Reginald is an advocate for people to use their voice and be unafraid in their endeavors. They encourage their listeners to live their lives authentically and embrace their truth whole heartedly. Reginald is primed to drop his debut EP in late summer of 2021. This project is filled with propulsive pop jams that genre bend to create fun, edgy tracks that inspire others to be creative, stand up for what they believe in, and love themselves unconditionally.
