• SKIP MARLEY JSkip Marley heeds a higher calling. Hailing from Kingston, Jamaica, Skip Marley creates with clear intention. His sonic alchemy of reggae, R&B, pop, and hip-hop mirrors a core mission to unify people of all kinds at all times. During 2017, he joined forces with Katy Perry on the double-platinum smash "Chained To The Rhythm," then took flight on 2020's Higher Place, which garnered a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of "Best Reggae Album," while the gold-certified single "Slow Down" [with H.E.R.] received a nod for "Best R&B Song." He made history with the latter by emerging as "the first Jamaican-born artist to vault to #1 on the Billboard Adult R&B Chart." It soared as "the quickest and biggest-streaming song in Marley family history." In addition to earning nominations at the Soul Train Awards, NAACP Image Awards, and iHeart Music Awards, he has cemented himself as a dynamic force of nature who's equally at home on a track with Rick Ross, Ari Lennox, and Seeb as he is with Damian Marley, Major Lazer, and Ayra Starr. Beyond packing houses on tour, he shined with television performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and on both Good Morning America and TODAY alongside Kacey Musgraves. In 2024, he notably contributed a powerful cover of "Exodus" to Bob Marley: One Love (Music Inspired by the Film) which accompanied the blockbuster Bob Marley biopic One Love. He kicked off his next chapter with the single "Close," and "In Our Sight," the latter skyrocketed to #1 on the Jamaican charts and garnered a 2026 NAACP Image Award nomination for Best International Song.

• TAMIA OJ f DWEvery so often, an unforgettable voice comes along. One possessed by a deep-rooted passion that subtly powers a soulful, silky sound that will never go out of style. The voice in question: Tamia. To follow up her No. 1-debuting R&B album Love Life in 2015, Tamia returned with the sizzling single "Leave It Smokin," a top 10 hit at urban AC. "Leave It Smokin" set the alarm for Passion Like Fire, Tamia's seventh studio album in 2018. The album in turn also marked another momentous occasion: the 20th anniversary of Tamia's critically acclaimed, self-titled 1998 debut album. The album initiated a string of hits that the six-time Grammy Award nominee has steadily spun off along the way, including "You Put a Move on My Heart," "Missing You" with Brandy, Gladys Knight and Chaka Khan, "Spend My Life with You" with Eric Benét, "So into You," "Stranger in My House" and "Into You" with Fabolous.
