Internet sensation Alix Lapri, 112's Daron Jones, and So So Def's Dondria, who the label's CEO Jermaine Dupri said, “is like a young Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, or Alicia Keys.” have joined the lineup for the first annual Left Eye Music Fest on Saturday, July 28 at the Porter Sanford III Performing Arts Center at 3181 Rainbow Drive in Decatur, GA. The new additions will join the Tribute Concert, hosted by Lisa's breakout group Blaque, to celebrate the life and legacy of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes along with Ejypt, Rude Boys, and Lisa's younger sister Reigndrop Lopes. TLC's Chilli, platinum selling rapper Da Brat, and other surprise guests will be making special appearances.
The Kids Concert, hosted by the spirited OMG Girlz (Interscope), is the first of three shows and includes performances by New Kn.E.R.D.S., (LLF), tween sensation Domani (“T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle”), Cymia (Cash Money Records), and Gabbie Rae (Purple Ribbon Kidz).
The Talent Showcase, like Left Eye, will provide a once in a lifetime opportunity for up and coming artists to perform in front of experienced industry executives offering input and advice on their performance, stage presence, and image. Shanti Das (star maker/Founder of Press Reset), Kawan “KP” Prather (Ghet-O-Vision), Ian Burke (BurkeStone Ent), and Kyle Young (Kyle Young Designs) will offer invaluable feedback on the performers. One act will receive a recording package at UNI Studios and another act will be chosen to perform later this summer at Shanti Das' ATL Live on the Park, a summer music series held at Piedmont Park.
The Left Eye Music Fest (#LEMF) was envisioned by Lisa’s younger siblings Ronald and Reigndrop Lopes to commemorate Lisa's legacy of art, creativity, opportunity and health. The annual event will rally fans and music lovers from local and national communities to offer a philanthropic & interactive live media experience to the masses, in Lisa’s honor.
“It's not just about her being an artist. It's about the contributions she's made as a whole and also the positive impact she's made on people's lives,” said Ronald who manages the Lisa Lopes Foundation.
Philadelphia native Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes was most widely known as a member of hip-hop/Pop/R&B super group TLC. The group skyrocketed to success in the early 90’s selling over 50 million albums worldwide before Lopes’ tragic death in a car accident in Honduras ten years ago.
