 Show #959 RECAP 

Powered by Clean Energy for the First Time EVER! Concert 

Yo! We just powered concert #959 with clean energy!

I teamed up with the incredible Australian band Lime Cordiale at the legendary El Rey Theatre, and it was a massive success!

Then… we made history.

For the first time ever, we powered a show at The Roxy Theatre—yes, the ICONIC Roxy on Sunset Blvd—with clean/renewable energy.

That’s never been done before. Ever.

This was a first.

The Roxy has helped launch the careers of legends like Guns N’ Roses, Adele, Bruce Springsteen, and Bob Marley… and now, I’m beyond honored to say this night marked the start of my chapter in that legacy.

But I’m doing it different—I launched clean.

https://aymusik.us11.list-manage.com/

Big love to Green Sports Alliance for coming together with us to unite music and sports and amplify the message of sustainability.

This was the official kickoff to our partnership in 2025—this is decarbonization in action.

We previewed some new songs from my upcoming album “DecArbonYzed,” and once again proved that concerts can be clean, green, and game-changing.

Shout out to some of our incredible partners: Overdrive, Footprint Project, New Use Energy, and Reon. Couldn’t be on this #RoadTo1000 without you. Thank you for powering change with us.

More to come.

Let’s get the world plugged in.

NEXT UP: Concert/Show #960

Going down at the GSA Summit on June 10 in Miami, Florida! We’re keeping the momentum rolling—another step toward 1000 clean energy concerts!

Let’s keep pushing the movement forward!

This is history in the making.

Let’s electrify the world together!

Workshop: Sponsored by Women in Film
2:00 PM – 5:00 PM – The Directors Room
“How Do You Go from Idea to Pitch?”
1. Creation – You have a great idea; now what? How do you develop an idea into a project; what format to choose, what platform, where to find your audience? What is your long term plan for your project?
2. Building Traction – Before you go to the networks (or studios), how do you make your project stands out? Develop a marketing plan. How can you get your content stand out? Maximize social media exposure: develop followers/fan base on social media?
3. Pitching – How do you put all the chances on your side? How to make a successful pitch. What are networks looking for? What is going to make your content stands out from the others?
