About Benson Boone
Benson Boone's intimate, diaristic pop songs are constantly evolving as he quickly becomes a global hitmaker. From his Platinum-certified 2024 debut album Fireworks & Rollerblades, Boone's now 8x-Platinum viral smash “Beautiful Things”—the most-streamed song in the world in 2024—quickly soared to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, spent 7 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Global 200, and hit #1 at Top 40, Hot AC, and AC radio. In addition to earning Boone a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where he delivered a show-stopping performance, this massive success won him two Billboard Music Awards, an MTV Video Music Award, an iHeartRadio Music Award, and multiple global accolades. In 2024, Boone also made his debut at major festivals such as Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza, opened for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in London, and performed with Lana Del Rey at Hangout Festival. He continued a record year of touring in 2025, delivering a celebrated main-stage Coachella and Governors Ball set, selling out a global headline arena tour, and performed a special show at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Boone continued to reach new heights in 2025 with his acclaimed new album American Heart—which debuted in the Top 10 in ten countries, including #2 in the U.S. and Canada and #1 in Australia and New Zealand. He covered Rolling Stone Magazine’s Future of Music Issue, was named one of Forbes 30 Under 30, and also made his Saturday Night Live debut performing “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” and “Mystical Magical,” all while racking up over 12 billion streams across his catalog.
About Shaboozey
8X GRAMMY® nominated singer-songwriter Shaboozey is building his own world, carving his lane in the alternative country and hip-hop space. Born to parents of Nigerian descent and raised in the small town of Woodbridge, VA, the multi-faceted artist grew up on an eclectic mix of music encompassing classic hip-hop and R&B, country and blues icons like Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, Garth Brooks, and Lead Belly, to master lyricists, such as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. A true crossover artist, he began his epic rise to stardom with two standout features on Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER—the only artist with multiple appearances on the album. His latest body of work, the critically acclaimed masterpiece Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 and was praised by The New York Times for “bring[ing] hip-hop grit to country” and by Rolling Stone for “honoring country tradition and moving it forward.” The album’s breakthrough anthem, the RIAA-Diamond certified “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” broke the record for the longest-leading Hot 100 No. 1 while also topping Billboard’s Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay Chart, and Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts. The single has accumulated over a billion streams across DSPs and made history, making Shaboozey the first Black male artist to simultaneously top Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and Hot 100. In conjunction with the release, Shaboozey received major critical recognition and a wide array of nominations at the GRAMMY Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, Country Music Association Awards, iHeartRadio Music Awards, and MTV Video Music Awards, along with wins at the Billboard Music Awards and People’s Choice Country Awards, and recognition from ASCAP as their 2025 Country Music Songwriter/Artist of the Year. Continuing to raise the bar with each release, his follow-up single “Good News” earned Shaboozey his second #1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart. Staying true to his Virginian roots, Shaboozey strives to continue the region’s long-standing tradition of prolific creativity, this time by expanding the scope of contemporary hip-hop and introducing modern Americana to a global audience. His 2024 debut headline Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going tour sold out in every market and he played arenas nationwide as part of Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken tour this past winter. His highly successful 2025 The Great American Roadshow tour wrapped earlier this fall. He’s currently in the studio working on new music, gearing up for an even more momentous 2026.
