The 2016 Stellar Award nominees have been announced! Huge congrats to the labels and artists who’ve showed up and out over the past year.
If you remember, last year we served as the social media sponsor for Holla Walla’s Listening Bus that featured a bunch of eOne artists in route to the award show, Michelle Williams brought out Beyonce and Kelly Rowland, and Cheryl Jackson celebrated her 25th anniversary.
