We’re excited to welcome AfroHouse sensation Bun Xapa to the United States for his first-ever US tour 🇺🇸🌍
Bun Xapa has been making serious waves across the global AfroHouse scene with a sound that blends deep, percussive energy, soulful textures, and undeniable groove. His music isn’t just heard, it’s felt. From dance floors across Africa and Europe to now stepping onto US soil, this is a major cultural moment.
Last night was just a glimpse of what’s to come. The energy, the crowd, the connection, it’s clear there’s a growing appetite here for authentic AfroHouse experiences.
This tour is about more than performances. It’s about bridging continents, building community, and creating spaces where sound, culture, and movement meet.
If you’re a venue, promoter, or festival looking to be part of this movement, now is the time to tap in.
Let’s build something special.

Thank you to Adam Gross and The Fix for shedding light on several important conversations happening in our industry. I appreciate the discussion around topics like the use of AI in music, the state of the business, and for mentioning the circumstances surrounding my departure from the GRAMMYs.
Transparency and dialogue are important for the health of our industry, and I’m grateful when these conversations are approached thoughtfully and responsibly.
While the past few months have brought challenges, my commitment to the music community remains the same. I will continue to support, uplift, and advocate for artists and music culture around the world.
For those reaching out, thank you. And for anyone working in music, know that I’m still here, still active in the community, and always open to building with people who care about the culture and the future of our industry. Full interview on YouTube go check it out! @thefixja@adam.g.r.o.s.s

Grateful for an incredible weekend and an inspiring week overall.
Congratulations to all of the GRAMMY winners across the five categories I had the privilege of overseeing. Watching this work come to life and seeing artists, creators, and teams recognized on this level never gets old.
It was especially meaningful to finally meet so many of you in person. The conversations, shared perspectives, and genuine love for music and culture made the experience even more rewarding.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, supported one another, and continues to push the culture forward. Onward. 📸; @apmworldmag
Blue Note Jazz Festival/ Black Radio - at time was had!!
Had an amazing Labor Day weekend at the Blue Note Jazz Festival / Black Radio Experience! Every day was packed with some of the best artists in the world. I was so grateful to be there through my work with the Black Music Collective, where we set up a wellness pop-up for artists to relax before or after their performances and hang out with us. The artists were so appreciative, many said it was a huge gift and exactly what they needed. Such a rewarding experience!
Big shotout to the full team; @j_ivy@cueofthegoldencoast@ayaheart@ashleymcoleman_@brittyvette

AfroFuture in Detroit this year was truly one for the record books ✨🔥 Two of the big 5—Asake & Davido—delivered unforgettable performances that shook the city. And when Kaytranada’s set hit right as the sun went down… pure perfection 🌅.
The vibes kept building with Victony, Ludmilla, King Promise, Waka Flocka, Juls and more tearing up the stage, energy on 100 the whole way through 🙌🏾.
Grateful for the memories and the amazing team I got to rock with, shoutout to my co-stars Leah & Len 💫, we really make a great team. Huge respect to Abdul and the entire AfroFuture crew for such a flawless execution. And a big thank you to Bedrock for hosting us.
Detroit, we did that. ❤️💚💛 @recordingacademy

Visited Motown on Saturday while in Detroit for AfroFuture 🎶✨ The nostalgia was real, most of what’s in that museum I only knew from TV or stories my parents shared. Crazy to finally see it in person. Grateful for these moments and the journey 🙏🏾 #Motown #AfroFuture

The Blue Note Jazz Festival at the iconic Hollywood Bowl did not disappoint — a celebration of culture, rhythm, and timeless grooves. From soul-stirring solos to electrifying collaborations, this was jazz at its finest.
Much love to everyone who made this evening unforgettable.
