UrbanView – Urban Hot Spot

UrbanView By TL Welcome back to another addition of the urban bye TL. This time around I take you to Las Vegas NV. Front row to the Billboard Music awards 2012. If you could imagine the setting with lights and music in the back ground! Playing back in my head as I first arrived to the City of Entertainment was “Take Me Back To Vegas by Randy Taylor-Weber Ft. Mogli”!

On ourventures, I met many artists like LMFAO Party Rock crew, Robin Thicke and Carrie Underwood just to name a few. It was excellent networking and meeting many interesting people both inside the MGM Grand and outside. This made merealize one thing and one thing only! I’m glad I got up and took this trip to be along side other artists, DJs and producers willing to further themselves and take it to the next level.

This experience will take me back to Modesto where our city host our very own Music Awards where local artists have branched out and also appeared at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. For more information on this years winners go to http://www.billboard.com/bbma
