Anthony Sellers stated that this years headliner has been in demand since the inaugural event, and he has since then, been working diligently to secure her as a headliner for this year’s show.
“As we were leaving, we were listening to our listeners and fans and they were like ‘we wanna see Ashanti!'” Sellers said. “So since [last year] I have been working on curating this thing — it meant a lot to us to listen to our listeners, and what they wanted to see from us, and of course Lloyd and Mya make all the sense for the all the R&B lovers of the world.”

“The biggest thing we want to do is serve — superserve our community, and superserve our listeners” AshMac explained. “We said ‘you know what, this is what we have to do. We have to make sure that we’re in the community, but also making sure that we are being proactive to what our listeners want.”
