Philadelphia - GRAMMY SoundChecks With KE$HA

The Recording Academy Philadelphia Chapter, the GRAMMY Foundation and GRAMMY U invite you to meet Billboard chart-topping artist KE$HA. The young singer, signed to RCA Records, broke into the mainstream after her featured performance in Flo Rida’s “Right Round,” and her own singles “Tik Tok” and “Blah Blah Blah” have topped charts worldwide. Recently KE$HA has used her new-found fame to raise money for those affected by the 2010 Nashville flood and Deepwater Horizon oil spill. She is performing at Camden’s Susquehanna Bank Center and is excited to meet with local students to shed light on the realities of careers in the music industry.

IMPORTANT:

• Please note this is an educational opportunity, not a fan opportunity. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner and avoid asking any personal questions not related to the artist's career, or engaging in self-promotion of any kind. Failure to adhere to these rules will result in being asked to leave the event.
• Students/school groups who reserve a seat for GRAMMY SoundChecks but do not attend or cancel within three (3) days’ notice will not be permitted to attend future GRAMMY SoundChecks events.
• Due to the limited number of participants allowed by the artist’s management, ONE chaperone may attend the event for every TEN students present — no more. Additional chaperones or parents providing rides will be asked to wait outside the venue during the event.
• Only those who receive a confirmation e-mail are permitted to attend the event.
• Attendees must complete and bring on the day of the event a participation form, which will be sent with the confirmation.
• Attendees arriving after the event has begun may not be able to enter the venue.
• Students should come prepared with two questions to ask the artist.

GRAMMY SoundChecks are opportunities for a small group of high school and/or college music students (depending on the event) to attend a professional soundcheck of a touring artist and watch the process of preparing for a concert.  The artist, and any members of their crew willing to participate, will engage the students in conversation about the specifics of their jobs, and the challenges faced by touring musicians.  Artists such as Coldplay, U2, Kanye West, John Mayer, Queen Latifah, Mariah Carey, Phil Collins, Billy Joel and many, many others have participated in these through the years.

*College students wishing to attend must be GRAMMY U members. GRAMMY U is the student level of Recording Academy membership and is open to any college student interested in a career in the music industry, regardless of school major. GRAMMY U members have access to Academy networking and professional development programs in all 12 Chapters as well as exclusive member discounts for only $25 per year — a fraction of the regular cost.
