Taking place on May 28, the concert will be an online event not just for Cookiee Kawaii fans, but for all music fans around the world. Over the past year, more audiences have moved online for connecting with friends and seeking entertainment, and Hotel Hideaway is embracing this movement by bringing this upcoming virtual concert and many more events to life throughout 2021.

With a 15 million user milestone under our belt, we’re now seeking out unique, leading artists who will help bring authentic concert experiences into Hotel Hideaway.” Cookie Kawaii rose to international fame last year when her "Vibe (If I Back it Up)" became a sensation on the social platform TikTok. Cookiee Kawaii said: “I’ve been a fan of Habbo since a kid so it’s an honor I get to headline as a part of the brand new virtual concert for Hotel Hideaway celebrating 15 million members.” The virtual concert will be free to view in Hotel Hideaway beginning on May 28 at 9:00 a.m. EDT / 6:00 a.m. PDT, 5:00 p.m. EDT / 2:00 p.m. PDT, and 1:00 a.m. EDT (May 29) / 10:00 p.m. PDT, followed by a Meet & Greet and live Q&A with Cookiee Kawaii on the Hotel Hideaway Youtube channel. Hotel Hideaway will unveil more upcoming virtual concert details at the end of the concert, so fans will want to tune in for more upcoming collaboration surprises. The virtual community also plans to offer unique ways for artists to engage with their fans that only a digital experience can provide. Hotel Hideaway has become an increasingly popular hangout among young people from across the US, Europe and Asia. Its virtual concerts recently began with piloted events in March and April featuring artists DJ Luuk van Dijk, DJ Mark Sixma and Sidney Samson that drew more than 70,000 concert-goers per event who viewed and danced through the 30-minute performances, and purchased concert merchandise, including clothing featuring the headlining artists’ brand. To cover all major time zones, Hotel Hideaway arranged three events during a 24-hour period. Additionally, the platform has scaled up its server support for events with the growing number of virtual concert goers expected to attend and increase over time. To stay up to date on all the latest news as Hotel Hideaway celebrates 15 million members, fans can download the app and join the concert conversation online. Holly Hammer, Partnership Manager at Azerion, said: “This is only the beginning of what we hope will become a central feature of our game. The concert series we have planned will shine a spotlight on emerging and established talent from all genres. Our goal is to bridge the gap between gaming and music. As a gamer herself, Cookiee Kawaii is a natural fit for this mission."

Coming New York-Based Latin Artist Kymged With New Songs
KYMGED releases his latest song and coming with more new songs, which are about the importance of decisions one makes and how they can influence the course of life, and the importance of love. KYMGED, a New York-based artist who is a singer and songwriter of Latin Urban Music from Venezuela, has announced the release of his latest song, and coming with new songs, that talk about the decisions one makes in life and how it puts you in control of various developing situations, and that the only matter it life is love. “The new song coming talks about every decision that you make in life counts, and you have the control to decide to change your life,” says the singer famous for his urban Latin music. “It will be your decision if you want to change your life. Thanks to the music, I changed my life, and everything that I went through makes me stronger, and always keep working hard. It doesn’t matter what people say I never give up on my dreams.” KYMGED is also known as Gerald Deen wants to change the world through his music. He believes that music is a beautiful thing that can help people live the life they want. In his coming songs, KYMGED says he emerged stronger after every adversity he faced in his life. If it were not for the challenges he faced in life, he would not have become the artist he is now. He has not given up learning and keeps working on his music all the time. “I am in the music industry to change the world because there are still other issues to talk about other than love, heartbreak, and celebration,” he adds. “And music is just a beautiful thing, and the way God wired me to do the things that I do and to change the world the way that I can.” KYMGED says big achievements do not come easily. People who keep trying and do not give up can be the ones who succeed and scale great heights. Those who have good staying power can handle all types of challenges. Just like it takes a tree many years to bear fruits, humans can take many years to achieve their life goals. KYMGED became interested in the music industry from an early age and was doing beats when he was just 10. He was inspired by his elder brother and his cousin, who played the piano and the guitar. The economic crisis in Venezuela forced KYMGED to move to New York when he was just 15. He began dabbling in music by practicing as a DJ in his free time. His high school lunchtimes were fun as he did rapping and freestyle music with his friend. The home studio of his Bronx neighbor helped him learn the basics of song making. He also started writing and singing and took his first steps into the world of music. KYMGED sings mostly about his life and many problems in the world. He tells the history of individuals or situations faced in daily lives and creates music out of it. KYMGED keeps working on his urban Latin Music. “The course of achievement may be difficult and hard, however, if we maintain going with no loss of self-belief, we can achieve big things in life, KYMGED opines. “Every day may be a struggle if you have got a negative mindset, when you are wallowing in pity and misery it’s hard to examine the nice and also the true potential that’s within you.” For more information, visit www.kymged.com

Gibson Announces the Addition Of Mesa/Boogie; Two Iconic Brands Come Together
Gibson, the iconic American instrument brand, is pleased to announce the addition of Mesa/Boogie--one of the most respected and prestigious brands in sound and guitar amplification--to their family of brands. Mesa/Boogie--the original “Boutique” amplifier company--was founded 51 years ago by Randy Smith, who is responsible for creating the ground-breaking circuits that drive some of the most influential sounds of our time. Randy will join Gibson as Master Designer and Pioneer of Mesa/Boogie and beyond. In his new role, Randy will continue his passion for tube technology and his vision for building hand-crafted, high performance amplifiers, that continue to redefine how we experience sound across Mesa/Boogie and Gibson. Beginning in a converted dog kennel under the redwoods of Northern California, Randy Smith was wrenching amplifiers for all the great San Francisco area bands over 50 years ago when vintage gear was new. Being close to so many great guitar players, from Bloomfield to Santana and The Rolling Stones, Smith learned the virtues and shortcomings of the era’s gear and began a process of innovation that continues today. Mesa/Boogie, the company Smith founded, was the first boutique amplifier builder and revolutionized amplifier performance in ways that impacted rock music worldwide. Simultaneously respecting and improving the vintage classics he grew up with, Smith, through Mesa/Boogie pioneered the invention of High Gain. “At Gibson we are all about leveraging our iconic past and leaning into the innovative future, a quest that started over 100 years ago with our founder Orville Gibson,” says James ‘JC’ Curleigh, President & CEO of Gibson Brands. “Today this quest continues with the addition of Mesa Boogie into the Gibson Brands family, along with the visionary leadership of Randy Smith and his Team who, for the past 50 years, have created an iconic and innovative brand that has stood the test of time. This is a perfect partnership based on our collective professional experiences and passion for sound.” “I’m 75 years-old and still at work every day,” says Randy Smith founder of Mesa/Boogie. “This is my art and many of our crew have worked along my side for 30 to 40 years. As we witnessed JC and Cesar transform Gibson, we saw kindred spirits sharing common values and a fierce dedication to quality. Today, Gibson’s guitars are the best-ever and when they asked if we’d like to become Gibson’s Custom Shop for Amplifiers, we envisioned a perfect collaboration that would expand our outreach while preserving our legacy beyond my time. Gibson realizes the unique value of what we’ve all built together and this next chapter in the Mesa/Boogie story is a continuation of that dream. I am so fortunate for this partnership with the new Gibson after 50 years of doing what I love. It’s been the ride of my life . . . and it ain’t over yet!” “Mesa Boogie, led by Randy, has been in service to sound without compromises since the very beginning, and that’s a perfect fit for us,” adds Cesar Gueikian of Gibson Brands. “We are looking forward to being the best custodians of Mesa Boogie’s iconic heritage that we can be, and at the same time, a steward of its future. We are honored that Randy and the Mesa Boogie team have trusted us to lead Mesa Boogie into the future. Together, we will continue to pursue our mutual quest of sound, quality and craftsmanship and to push the boundaries of how guitar sound is delivered and experienced.” “This is very exciting, I can’t think of a better company to carry the Mesa Boogie torch, and I can’t wait to see what we can do together,” says Adam Jones, guitarist for the multi-platinum and multiple GRAMMY-Award winning band Tool. “I have been using Mesa Boogie amplifiers and cabinets for a long time. I use them at home, in the studio when I record and on stage when I play live; they go across all of my needs.” “I’ve been using Gibson guitars together with Mesa/Boogie amps onstage with the Roots for well over a decade,” says Captain Kirk Douglas, guitarist for the legendary, multiple GRAMMY-Award winning hip-hop group The Roots. “Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of home recording with my Mesa Boogies; it’s exciting to see the two brands joining collaborative forces.”

50th chamber music festival in Kuhmo - The theme this year is Nostalgia
This summer it is the 50th anniversary of the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival. It will run from 14 to 27 July and the theme this time is Nostalgia. For lovers of the great classics of the chamber music repertoire this summer promises to be a real celebration, as it will feature many of the works that have become firm favourites with audiences over the years. On the programme too will be some of the musicians who were at Kuhmo in the early years, such as Yoshiko Arai, Seppo Kimanen and Izumi Tateno. ”The past is the root from which all creatures that have become creators are cultivating an immortal tree,” is how Artistic Director Vladimir Mendelssohn explains the theme. Mendelssohn is not interested in just looking at history, though, because, as he says, “There is a way forward from those bridges that bend towards the past.” The new works commissioned over the decades for which the festival has been in existence are indicators of the future, and this summer we will be hearing some of the more outstanding pieces. The commissions continue, and this year will see the first performance of Juha T. Koskinen’s Dream Transmission for solo clarinet and electronics. The early years remembered The Festival was introduced in 1970 by Seppo Kimanen, who will start the nostalgic ball rolling again this celebratory year on Sunday 14 July in Lentiira Church. All the works performed in the opening concert were on the programmes for the first festivals. That same evening the audience will hear the most frequently performed piece of the Festival, Schubert’s Trout Quintet, which has been played every summer since 1990. On Monday we will hear three commissioned works from the years gone by, including one of the most stunning pieces ever given their first performance at Kuhmo, Sofia Gubaidulina’s String Quartet no 2 from 1987. Some concerts have featured brilliant, virtuosic works as encores going on into the small hours. Some of these encores can be heard at the late night concert on Monday. On Tuesday there will be a performance by one of Kuhmo’s legendary musicians, Izumi Tateno, who played at Kuhmo back in 1971. He is still giving concerts, now concentrating on repertoire for the left hand only. On Wednesday we welcome Aulis Sallinen, and an entire afternoon is dedicated to his output. The day ends with The Story of Tango, with music by Piazzolla and the strains of traditional Finnish tango. On Thursday in the first week the theme is the elements of nature: water, earth and fire. Friday is for the ladies, and on the programme are works dedicated to, and composed by, women. On Saturday there is a chance to hear again works that received their premieres at Kuhmo, including offerings from Japanese composers. The evening ends with cabaret. Concerts in out-of-the-way places Sunday 21 July takes us to the salons and courts, but there will also be concerts in more rural locations. Kuhmo Chamber Music in its early years spread to neighbouring areas, and this year there will be five village concerts to celebrate past habits. Nostalgia on Monday comes in the form of Magnus Lindberg’s …de Tartuffe, je crois, which is one of the most regularly performed works that were premiered at Kuhmo. On Tuesday in the second week there is music dedicated to the League of Gentlemen, with Don Juan on the loose again. On Wednesday there will be reminiscences of first performances of works by Nordgren and Rautavaara. The theme on Thursday 25 July is the ‘two worlds’ of heaven and hell. The evening’s highlight will be Mozart’s Requiem. Friday is dedicated to the performance of 50 masterpieces. The Festival ends on Saturday and includes a rendition of this year’s commissioned work. The last concert offers listeners the opportunity to experience no less than 14 seasons, with music by Vivaldi and Piazzolla on the programme – naturally. New hall ready Tuupala Primary School, completed last year, is a new concert venue at Kuhmo. The school hall, made entirely of wood, was also designed to be used for concerts and last year’s events showed that the building acoustics were excellent. Where there are five concerts in any one day, both the afternoon events will be at Tuupala. The evening concerts will be in the Kuhmo Arts Centre and the morning concert, as usual, in the church. Almost 170 artists are appearing, including popular names such as pianists Natacha Kudritskaya and Nino Gvetadze, violinists Daniel Rowland, Nikita Boriso-Glebsky and, a familiar face at Kuhmo, Jean-Jacques Kantorow, clarinettists Christoffer Sundqvist and Lauri Sallinen, and virtuoso bandoneonist Marcelo Nisinman. Seven string quartets will be playing, including the Danel and Meta4 Quartets, both firm favourites in recent years. Youth continues to be represented, this time by the Young Chamber Musicians and the Quartet Academy, which was started in autumn 2018. To celebrate our anniversary, on display in the Kuhmo Arts Centre foyer will be a selection of festival photographs by Stefan Bremer from across the years. Bremer’s masterly images will also be included in ‘Viisikymmentä ihmeellistä kesää’ (‘Fifty Amazing Summers’), a commemorative survey of the Festival written by Juhani Koivisto that will be out in the spring. At Amati and Salakamari, Pekka Lehtinen’s old posters of the Festival are bound to bring back memories, and there will be a display of Vesa Varrela’s glass art and sculptures in the Gallery at the Chamber Music Centre. Kuhmo’s sponsors The anniversary year Festival has a budget of EUR 1.045 million, of which half is expected to come from ticket sales. The Ministry of Education and Culture and the City of Kuhmo provide financial assistance. The Finnish Parliament has given the sum of EUR 50,000 in grants for the anniversary year’s special programmes. The Festival’s main corporate partner continues to be OP. The Festival friends are Canorama Oy, F-Musiikki, Kainuun Sanomat, Kuhmo Oy, Loiste Oy, Metsähallitus, No-Pan Auto Oy and Osuuskauppa Maakunta. The Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation provides support for courses organised for young people who are members of the Kuhmo Chamber Music Quartet Academy and their performances. Support has also come from the Finnish Cultural Foundation for a book on the Festival’s history.
