Description:
Hillel at Virginia Tech and the Jewish Student Union presents the 14th Annual Daniel Pearl Music Day concert featuring Shwayze with Electrobro and Ripejive on Thursday, November 3, 2016.
Daniel Pearl World Music Day is back! This year we welcome musical guest Shwayze to campus along with local music talents Ripejive and Electrobro.
Since 2008, Shwayze and the summer season have become synonymous. With the Billboard Top 20 hits "Buzzin'" and "Corona and Lime," people have fallen in love with Shwayze's breezy melodies and his smooth rhymes.
With an MTV reality show, four full-length albums, and countless tours under his belt… Shwayze is on a mission to make the whole world Feel Good!
In working toward his goal, Shwayze has put Feel Good Entertainment, the independent label he launched in 2010, into full force. This will not only allow him the freedom to make the music that he wants but it will also offer up-and-coming artists a chance to realize their dreams as well.
The future for Shwayze is as bright as the summer sun in California. You won't want to miss out on what's to come. It's going to be Shway!
