My GRAMMY® Highlights

I had an incredible time in L.A. enjoying various GRAMMY® events with my “brotha-from-anotha-motha” Will Dawson. I had written highlights of my trip while flying home, in order to structure a slamming blog post. However, Will’s account of the excursion is so on point, you can just read his and get the full experience.

In the interim, here is the list I came up with while soaring across the sky:

• Private gathering in Beverly Hills courtesy of the BAAS Group
• Late night listening session with Phonte and friends
• Melanie Fiona getting her Disney Princess on @ Cue the Music
• Connecting with childhood friend and actress extraordinaire Jennia Fredrique for the first time in more than 20 years
• Chilling with Nicolay, talking about music (producer’s dream)
• Experiencing social media rock stars up close at the SMRS summit @ GM
• 1/2” away from losing my pants at the GRAMMY pre-telecast
• Hanging out with my fellow GRAMMY community bloggers at the afterparty
• Pasta salad and milk crates (inside joke)
• Meeting Berry Gordy (unforgettable)
• Surprising my son and having breakfast with him, his mom and stepdad
• Sharing a laugh with Bono
• Getting the story behind Brett Baker’s tornado horn (producer’s dream
• Beverly Jackson’s impervious curls
• The ding in WIll Dawson’s rental car door
• Tichina Arnold’s leather pants
• Eric Roberson’s left side part
• Phonte’s pocket square
• All the peeps on the Crenshaw bus Saturday afternoon
