Last night Boiler Room TV and Ray-Ban kicked off the first pillar of their 6-pillared activation series in Los Angeles titled “Open Your Heart.” The event was curated by music collective Soulection and included live performances from Jhené Aiko, BJ The Chicago Kid, and Kali Uchis. Along with those talented artists gracing the stage, we were also blessed with a few DJ sets from the Soulection crew.
The night was filled with good vibes, good music, and lots of dancing. BJ The Chicago Kid even included his own rendition of two Usher classics, “Nice and Slow,” and “Superstar” during his set. With views around the room, you could see that there wasn’t one person who was not singing word-for-word.
Towards the end of the night LA’s sweetheart Jhené Aiko stole the show with her sultry voice and glowing stage presence. She performed “London Bridge” from her latest project with Big Sean, Twenty88, and even brought a special guest (daughter Nami), who she claimed had school in the morning and should have been sleeping. Together they did a touching performance of “Promises” dedicated to Aiko’s late brother. The performance had everyone in awe and left us all yearning for an encore.
We’re looking forward to the next pillar of the “RBxBR” series, which will be titled “Push Yourself”. The Location, and other information are yet to be announced.
