Emmy Award-winning host/correspondent and actress Rocsi Diaz can currently be seen as the host of the hit VH1 series “Dating Naked”. She recently brought her seasoned broadcasting chops and youthful spirit to her post as anchor of HLN’s “The Daily Share,” which offers the best in social media news and lifestyle content (Weekdays, Noon-5 p.m. ET/PT). Rocsi recently joined HLN, a CNN network reaching more than 100 million households in the U.S., following its rebranding in early 2014 as the first television home designed for the social media generation. She previously spent two years as weekend co-host and daily correspondent for “Entertainment Tonight,” the preeminent television entertainment newsmagazine, and was part of the on-air team that helped “ET” earn a 2014 Emmy for Outstanding Entertainment News Program. Rocsi segued to “ET” after seven years with BET, where she co-anchored its flagship television show, “106 & Park,” and hosted the syndicated radio show “106 & Park Weekend Countdown” along with her own popular program, “Rocsi on the Radio,” heard in over 20 major national markets. She made her debut as a radio host in Dallas at 97.9 The Beat, her energetic and fun signature style catching the attention of Boston’s Hot 97.7, which quickly moved her east. Then it was on to Chicago where she became known as “The Midday Mami” on the Windy City’s top urban station, Power 92. While interviewing the hottest artists in the music industry, Rocsi entered and won BET’s “New Faces” national competition, sending her to New York City to co-anchor “106 & Park” with fellow contest winner Terrence J. In her personal life, Rocsi is a tireless supporter of numerous philanthropic efforts, from her support for PETA’s youth wing, peta2, in elevating awareness for shelter animals, to her own RocStar Foundation, which raises money to build and refurbish schools devastated by Hurricane Katrina in her home city of New Orleans. 

Multi-instrumental producer, actor, dancer and singer/songwriter Roshon Fegan began his claim to fame in Los Angeles at the age of 18 months.  His first creative moments of his career were actually a national Pepsi commercial and his momentum for the creative industry took off from there. Roshon is heavily inspired by old school music like Soul, Funk & R&B. He highlights that “feel good” sound describes his overall being of who he is as an upbeat person and expresses that positive vibe to everyone that he encounters. The career history of his art comes in all shades but a few highlights entail; starring in Camp Rock (1 & 2), starring and choreographing for Shake it Up and was a celebrity competitor on Dancing with the Stars.  He is presently expanding his music journey while singing, songwriting and producing for himself and others like Pitbull and Prince Royce. Roshon’s music vibe is energetic, smooth and urban pop R&B that speaks to his generation while still connecting to his soulful roots. 

TV personality and pop culture expert AJ Gibson brings a unique blend of charm and charisma to every TV and red carpet appearance, while also going just a bit deeper in a way that only he can.  AJ is a kind, relatable and an all around nice guy, who mixes equal parts humor and compassion in a balancing act that’s often difficult to pull off live, but which AJ executes effortlessly.  Authenticity in Hollywood can sometimes seem elusive, but AJ is as genuine as they come, which is why he has quickly emerged as a face and voice that viewers look forward to connecting with for years to come!  Make your own connection right now by getting to know AJ a little better at www.AJGIBSONTV.com! 

Comfortable in golf shoes and evening gowns alike, Kira Kazantsev is a host, exuberant keynote speaker, spokesperson and tireless advocate on a number of social issues.  Kira served as Miss America 2015. Throughout her year, she was a presenter on many dick clark productions telecasts and toured the country as an Ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, an advocate on her personal platform: domestic violence awareness, and on behalf of military families. Her travels also took her overseas to visit and entertain troops with the USO in Afghanistan, Bahrain, and South Korea. Kira currently resides in Los Angeles, CA.

George Kotsiopoulos is a fashion expert, author, stylist and television host.  Best known for his charming and honest critiques as host of E!’s weekly Fashion Police (with the late, great Joan Rivers), Kotsiopoulos spends time equally styling A-List actresses and Oscar nominees as he does offering real-life style advice to the masses.   

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Spencer Ludwig picked up the trumpet at age 17 and immediately began making his mark on the city’s indie, EDM, and pop worlds. While still an undergraduate studying music at the California Institute of the Arts, he was hired to be the featured trumpeter in the indie-pop group Capital Cities in 2011. During his time with Capital Cities he played on their platinum debut album In a Tidal Wave of Mystery and opened for Katy Perry on her Prismatic World Tour. Ludwig’s musical agility allows him to captivate audiences with a four-piece band or as a DJ, where his unique sets include live trumpet and other instruments, as well as his original style remixes, which he has dubbed “Trumpet Edits.” Listen here: www.soundcloud.com/spencerludwig.

Jeannie Mai is a style expert, television personality and executive producer. Jeannie can be seen as one of four energetic co-host’s on Fox’s Emmy Nominated talk show “The Real.” Bringing her sassy personality and her style expertise to the forefront, Jeannie has been a recurring fashion correspondent for many popular shows such as “Today Show,” “Entertainment Tonight,” “Insider” and “E! News.” It has always been Jeannie’s mission to inspire and empower women, recently, Jeannie was honored by Ciroc, Variety and WWD Magazine as one of their 2016 Women of Empowerment. 

Laura Marano is widely known for starring as “Ally” in the Disney Channel’s international hit television series Austin & Ally, for which she won Best Actress on TV at the Kids Choice Awards and nominations for Choice Summer TV Star Female and Choice TV Actress Comedy, at the Teen Choice Awards. The series has won Kids Choice Awards in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Columbia and can be seen in over 77 countries around the world. In 2015, Marano appeared in the feature film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip and is scheduled to begin filming, “War with Grandpa” co-starring Robert DeNiro this Winter. At the tender age of 19, Marano signed with record label Big Machine Records and this March released her single “Boombox,” with the video garnering over 40million views to date. She has performed the single on The Today Show and Radio Disney Music Awards.  Her latest single titled “LaLa,” co-written by top songwriter Justin Tranter, was released in August and an album will follow later this year. Marano launched her own weekly radio show on the Radio Disney Network, chronicling her journey in her music career.  Marano wrote and performed the theme song to the latest video for Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, which made its video debut at San Diego Comic-Con.  In May she hosted the official red carpet for the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas and this September, she joined the panel of judges for the 2017 Miss America Competition, which aired live from Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall on ABC. Marano has an active social media fan base with over 10 million followers across her platforms.  

Long Live The Angels (Capitol Records) – the follow-up to Emeli Sandé’s 2012 debut album, Our Version Of Events, which has sold more than four million albums worldwide – is now available HERE. TIDAL will exclusively livestream Sandé’s first U.K. concert in support of the album on Tuesday, November 15, at 4:00 PM ET. Subscribers can watch “TIDAL X Emeli Sandé from London” live at TIDAL.com/EmeliSande and will find it available on replay thereafter. The official video for “Breathing Underwater,” a track from Long Live The Angels, premiered earlier this week on Vevo. Directed by Tim Mattia (Coldplay, Troye Sivan, The 1975), it can be viewed HERE. Billboard, which put the song on its “must-hear” Fall Playlist, said, “‘Breathing Underwater’ demonstrates why Sandé’s soulful pop has been so sorely missed.” The video for “Hurts,” the album’s first single, already has more than five million views. Sandé talks about Long Live The Angels and delves into each of the new album’s songs in this new feature, posted on Twitter today.  Sandé’s 2012 debut album, Our Version Of Events, was named as one of the best albums of the year by critics worldwide, including The New York Times’ Jon Caramanica, who ranked it at No. 1 on his list. The first single, “Next to Me,” sold more than seven million downloads worldwide, including 1.5 million in the U.S., where it is certified Platinum. Sandé has won numerous awards, including three BRIT awards, two Ivor Novello awards, a BET award and Breakthrough Artist of the Year honors at NARM’s 2013 Music Biz Awards.

Los Angeles, CA (November 16, 2016) – dick clark productions and ABC announced today that music producer, recording artist and social media super star DJ Khaled will be joined on stage by Nicki Minaj, August Alsina, Future and Rick Ross to perform their hit new song “Do You Mind” at the “2016 American Music Awards.”  They join hosts Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharoah, as well as previously announced performers including James Bay, Fifth Harmony, Lady Gaga, Green Day, Niall Horan, John Legend, Bruno Mars, Shawn Mendes, Twenty One Pilots, The Weeknd, special duets from The Chainsmokers and Halsey, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, and Maroon 5 featuring Kendrick Lamar, and “The American Music Award of Merit” honoree and performer Sting.  The “2016 American Music Awards,” the world’s biggest fan-voted award show, will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, November 20 at 8:00pm ET on ABC.

This year mark’s DJ Khaled, August Alsina, Future and Rick Ross’ first-time performing at the American Music Awards. Nicki Minaj is a six-time American Music Award winner and eight-time nominee. She is the current record holder for most wins (3) in the Favorite Album – Rap/Hip-Hop category and is tied for the most wins (3) in the Favorite Artist – Rap/Hip-Hop category. 2016 will mark Minaj’s fourth turn as a performer on the AMA stage. In 2011 she performed a medley of “Sweat,” “Turn Me On” and “Super Bass” with David Guetta. In 2012 she took the stage solo to perform “Freedom” and returned to the stage in 2014 to perform “Bed of Lies” solo, and joined Ariana Grande and Jessie J to perform “Bang, Bang.”

A  major force  in  the  music  industry,  mogul,  executive, mega producer  and  recording artist,  DJ Khaled,  known  as  the  “Anthem  King”  and  commonly  referred  to  as  the  “Quincy  Jones  of  Hip Hop  &  R&B”,  has  made  dozens  of  chart  topping  hit  records  featuring  JAY  Z,  Kanye  West, Drake,  Chris  Brown,  Ludacris,  T.I.,  French  Montana,  Future,  Big  Sean,  Rick  Ross,  John Legend, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne, among others. In 2006, he launched innovative label deals and started We The Best Music Group.  His 2010 hit song “All I Do is Win” went 3x platinum, sold over 3 million singles, and crossed over all music genres to become a mainstream hit, solidifying him as a force to be reckoned with.  That same year he also released “I’m On One”feat.  Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne.  Khaled went on to release the hit single “No New Friends” featuring Drake, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross, which reached gold status and has sold over 500,000 singles worldwide. DJ Khaled has sold over 15 million singles in his career.

Grammy Award-nominated superstar Nicki Minaj continues to break records and impact pop culture at large. Her two-time platinum selling and critically lauded third full-length album, The Pinkprint, arrived at the top of both the Billboard 200 and the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, cementing her as rap’s reigning queen.   Minaj recently made history when she occupied the four top 10 spots on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart, becoming the first female artist to achieve the feat. Minaj also has the most hits on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart of any female rapper in history and is number three among all female artists on the chart behind only Aretha Franklin and Taylor Swift. What’s more, 12 of her entries entered the top 10, yielding yet another record for a female rapper. Minaj stands at the top of the pop vanguard.  To date, the global superstar has sold over 55 million singles and 5 million albums worldwide.  Minaj has also been the recipient of a bevy of awards including American Music Awards, MTV VMA’s, Billboard Awards, People’s Choice Awards, BET Awards, and many others. A global touring phenomenon, Minaj has sold out iconic venues worldwide including London’s O2 Arena, Brooklyn’s Barclays Arena and The Staples Center in Los Angeles.  Outside of music, she has starred in films including Ice Age: Continental Drift, The Other Woman, and Barbershop 3, in addition to appearing as a judge on American Idol.

Born and bred in New Orleans, R&B star August Alsina is eager to follow in the footsteps of the NOLA music legends that paved his way. After a set of personal setbacks and a series of YouTube covers that generated millions of views, Alsina signed with Def Jam Recordings in 2007. Proving to be a step in the right direction, he released his first album Testimony in 2014 debuting at number 2 on the Billboard 200. The album featured hit singles “I Luv This Shit”, featuring Trinidad James and “No Love”, featuring Nicki Minaj. The same year, he was named “Best New Artist” at the BET Awards. His 2015 sophomore album, This Thing Called Life also debuted in the top 20 and featured “Hip Hop”, which has become Alsina’s most successful single to date.

With a lifetime of experiences behind him, and living proof that your past does not dictate your future, August is gearing up to release his third album with Def Jam Recordings due early 2017.

Future caps off yet another landmark year with his most recent single release, “Used To This.” featuring Drake. In February, EVOL became his third consecutive release to bow at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 in less than a year. The project achieved an RIAA Gold certification, while spawning the platinum smash “Low Life” [feat. The Weeknd]. He followed that up with the gold single “Wicked” as he sold out dates across the country on his headliner The Purple Reign Tour. Along the way, he appeared on Saturday Night Live, solidifying his place as a cultural icon. He spent the summer packing arenas coast-to-coast on the Summer Sixteen Tour alongside Drake. These works come fresh off a vigorous two-year reign with Future releasing a slew of mixtapes including “Beast Mode”, “Monster”, and “56 Nights” – skyrocketing to a Billboard #1 album with the release of DS2 (Dirty Sprite 2) and adding yet another virally successful platinum project under his belt with the 2015 release of What A Time To Be Alive in collaboration with Drake. Future is signed to Freebandz/ Epic Records. 

With eight #1 and #2 Soundscan original studio albums, and four Grammy Award® nominations under his belt since 2006, Rick Ross was a core artist on the Def Jam roster. His drawing power was established virtually overnight when his 2006 label debut, “Hustlin’” became the first mastertone ever to be certified RIAA platinum before the associated album had been released.That album was his classic debut, Port Of Miami (in tribute to his hometown), the first of four Rick Ross albums to debut at #1. His long string of signature top-charted Rap and R&B hits went on to include “The Boss” featuring T-Pain (RIAA platinum); “Here I Am” featuring Nelly and Avery Storm (RIAA gold); “Aston Martin Music” featuring Drake and Chrisette Michele (RIAA gold); “You the Boss” featuring Nicki Minaj (RIAA gold); and “The Devil Is a Lie” featuring Jay-Z (RIAA gold). Twice featured as a Rolling Stone magazine cover artist, the “hip-hop heavyweight,” as the New York Times described him, was living up to his reputation as “the number one ghostwriter in the South,” his stock and trade since the millennium began.  Subsequent albums Trilla (2008) and Deeper Than Rap (2009) also debuted at #1 Soundscan, as did God Forgives, I Don’t (2012), which included top hits “Touch’N You” featuring Usher, “So Sophisticated” featuring Meek Mill, and fan favorite “Diced Pineapples” featuring Drake and Wale. Most recently, Rick Ross aka Ricky Rozay set a high-water mark when he released three consecutive full-length studio albums in less than two years, Hood Billionaire and Mastermind in 2014, and Black Market in 2015.  The latter attracted guest appearances by an elite A-list of friends, among them John Legend, Cee-Lo Green, Nas, DJ Premier, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown, and Future. Rick Ross is also the founder of the successful Maybach Music Group (MMG), which has released some 20 albums since he founded the label in 2009.

The nominations for the “2016 American Music Awards” were announced last month, revealing that Drake leads with 13 nominations, while Rihanna received seven and Adele and Justin Bieber received five nominations each.  Beyoncé and The Chainsmokers each received four nominations.  Additionally, Bryson Tiller, Twenty One Pilots, Carrie Underwood, Fetty Wap and The Weeknd earned three nominations each.

Los Angeles, CA (November 16, 2016) – dick clark productions and ABC announced today that international megastar Justin Bieber will perform during the “2016 American Music Awards” from his Purpose tour in Zurich, Switzerland, delivering his signature style to audiences across the world.  He joins hosts Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharoah, as well as previously announced performers including James Bay, Fifth Harmony, Lady Gaga, Green Day, Niall Horan, John Legend, Bruno Mars, Shawn Mendes, Twenty One Pilots, The Weeknd, special duets from The Chainsmokers and Halsey, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, Maroon 5 with Kendrick Lamar, and “The American Music Award of Merit” honoree and performer Sting.  The “2016 American Music Awards,” the world’s biggest fan-voted award show, will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, November 20 at 8:00pm ET on ABC.  

The “2016 American Music Awards” will be Justin Bieber’s sixth time performing on the AMA’s stage. He is a 15-time American Music Award nominee and eight-time winner. This year, he is nominated for Video of the Year, Favorite Male Artist – Pop/Rock, Favorite Album – Pop/Rock, Favorite Song – Pop/Rock and the top honor, Artist of the Year.

Global superstar Bieber released his latest Def Jam album, Purpose, on November 13, 2015. Purpose opened at No. 1 in over 100 countries around the world, and has gone on to sell over 10 million copies to date. Purpose shattered global streaming records and has yielded three consecutive No. 1 singles in the US – “What Do You Mean,” “Sorry” and “Love Yourself.” In late 2015, those three tracks landed at No. 1, 2 and 3 on the UK singles chart, surpassing a record previously held by The Beatles and making Bieber the first artist to ever accomplish such a feat. In February, Justin won his first Grammy: Best Dance Song for the Purpose track “Where Are You Now.” Justin Bieber was recently named the first artist to reach 10 Billion views on VEVO. In 2014, Justin was ranked by Twitter as the top most tweeted about musical artist of the year. He has released five No. 1 albums to-date and has starred in two films, Never Say Never (2011) and Believe (2013). In 2011, he was nominated for the Best New Artist Grammy. In 2013, Bieber received a Diamond award from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to recognize his single “Baby” as the best-selling digital song of all-time with over 10 million copies sold. 

The nominations for the “2016 American Music Awards” were announced last month, revealing that Drake leads with 13 nominations, while Rihanna received seven and Adele and Justin Bieber received five nominations each.  Beyoncé and The Chainsmokers each received four nominations.  Additionally, Bryson Tiller, Twenty One Pilots, Carrie Underwood, Fetty Wap and The Weeknd earned three nominations each. 

The Artist of the Year nominees are Adele, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Drake, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Twenty One Pilots, Carrie Underwood and The Weeknd.  The ten nominees were narrowed to five based on the votes received through Monday, November 14 at 5:00am PT.  Voting for Artist of the Year will close on Thursday, November 17 at 8:59:59pm PT. The winner will be determined by the total votes received throughout the entire voting period.  

New Artist of the Year Un-leashed by T-Mobile nominees are Alessia Cara, The Chainsmokers, DNCE, Shawn Mendes and Zayn.  Voting for this category is now open and will close Sunday, November 20 at 5:59:59pm PT.

Their releases have also gone gold and platinum in over 35 countries.

When the tour wraps at the end of 2017, the band will have played over 120 concerts in 30+ countries with more than 2,500,000 fans in attendance. 

Platinum-selling, Grammy award winning artist Kendrick Lamar is one of the rare artists who has achieved critical and commercial success while earning the respect and support of those who inspired him. A native of Compton, California, Lamar caught the attention of CEO Anthony “TopDawg” Tiffith who immediately signed a young Lamar to his label, Top Dawg EntertainmenBeside fellow Top Dawg Entertainment artists Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, and ScHoolboy Q—a group whose members, for the most part, appeared on one another’s mixtapes and t.  albums. Overly Dedicated (2010) was the first Kendrick Lamar mixtape and fared well enough to enter Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart that October. His first official album, Section.80 (2011), was released as a digital download the following year and entered the Billboard 200 at number 113. By that point in his career, Lamar’s reputation had been strengthened through guest appearances on dozens of tracks, and he had the support of veteran West Coast stars as well. During a 2011 con- cert, Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg dubbed him “The New King of the West Coast,” a notion Dre endorsed more significantly by signing Lamar to the Aftermath label. Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city was released in October 2012 and debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. Three of its singles—“Swimming Pools (Drank),” “Poetic Justice,” and “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe”—reached the Top Ten of Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart, with each one enjoying lengthy stays on playlists of urban U.S. radio stations. More significantly, the album showcased Lamar as an exceptional storyteller capable of making compelling concept albums. When the nominees for the 56th Annual Grammy Awards were announced, Lamar was listed in seven categories, including Best New Artist and Album of the Year. Lamar remained active during 2013-2014, with touring as well as being sought after for several guest appearances by industry heavy-weights worldwide. In early 2015, he announced that his third album, To Pimp a Butterfly, was due in March with tracks featuring Snoop Dogg, Bilal, Thundercat, and George Clinton. A technical accident caused the digital album to be released eight days early, but it immediately earned rave reviews and topped the Billboard 200 with sales of 325,000 copies within its first week and has since been certified platinum.  Lamar went on to win five Grammys for Butterfly including Best Rap Album.  In 2016 Lamar released untitled unmastered., an album that closed the chapter on the Butterfly sessions. The album went on to top the Billboard 200 album chart.

The nominations for the “2016 American Music Awards” were announced last month, revealing that Drake leads with 13 nominations, while Rihanna received seven and Adele and Justin Bieber received five nominations each.  Beyoncé and The Chainsmokers each received four nominations.  Additionally, Bryson Tiller, Twenty One Pilots, Carrie Underwood, Fetty Wap and The Weeknd earned three nominations each.
