NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – A Norfolk native is packing his bags and heading to in Los Angeles, California for a seat at GRAMMYs week!
Antonio Dowe is a 32-year-old musician from the Berkley area and the CEO of Global Music Touring.
Dowe was invited to share insight on the ‘ Live Out L!ve Presents: Creating Your Space In Live Music ‘ panel during GRAMMY museum’s week 2024.
Leading up to the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards show on Sunday Feb. 4, the GRAMMY In The Schools Fest is a festival celebrating music and education all week.
“It’s GRAMMY kickoff week. They do a lot of like kickoff events,” said Dowe. “One of the big things that they do at the Grammy Museum, they have some kickoff panels. I have an opportunity to sit on one. The panel is about creating your own space in live music, which is what we’ve done to The RNB Block Party.”
Dowe is the co-founder of The RnB Block Party.
“For me as a producer, I started to realize that there was a gap in production with the financial side. Everybody can’t afford a $150 concert ticket to see your favorite act every time they come into the market. So to be able to sell tickets to an event and that’s affordable for live music consumers was also important. We make it all about energy… all about the people.”
