Launching exclusively on Facebook, Gig iT challenges players to create the most original and unique social gaming experience in today’s digital world. From picking the performing artist and their wardrobe, to the concert’s official sponsors and venue location, Gig IT provides each user with a fully customized experience they’ll never forget. To commence the launch of this innovative and interactive game, the company threw a star powered bash at the swanky Capitale in New York City. The four hour event went on without a hitch, live music, cocktails, and tons of food kept guests entertained throughout the evening. Let’s not forget about the high profile performances, which included Miguel, Hip Hop artist 2 Chainz and Nas, and the reunion of female group SWV. Of course we have a few video highlights for your viewing pleasure.
MUSIC
Iggy is a 25-year-old singer-songwriter from New York City. At the age of ten, he became a member of the Metropolitan children’s chorus, where he sang in over thirty different operas along with performing solo pieces in Tosca, Magic Flute and Billy Bud. When his voice changed at 14 he started writing pop-songs influenced by his love of the Beatles. A self-taught guitarist, bassist, and pianist, Iggy also took two years of classical voice training after leaving the MET. Throughout college he played and toured with a number of rock bands.
Joe Galaxy has an infectious genre bending sound that shows influences of pop, rock, techno and hip-hop, and was recently signed by music impresario Renegade Foxxx. In addition to his music, Joe has also conquered the modeling world and is an accomplished actor having appeared in several commercials and TV shows. Much like Renegade, Galaxy is also very passionate about charity work, sponsoring and supporting, Hogar de Ninas Madre Albertina, a girl’s orphanage in Nicaragua. We had the pleasure of speaking with Joe Galaxy about his upcoming album, charity work, style, and much more.
