About Carín León:
León continues his rapid ascent after a monumental year, including winning a Latin Grammy for Best Norteño Album for Colmillo de Leche and releasing two massive hit singles, with “Primera Cita” and “Según Quién” each charting Top 25 on Spotify and Top 30 on Billboard Global 200. His latest single “ALCH SI” with Grupo Frontera just reached the #1 spot on Billboard's Regional Mexican Airplay chart. Most recently, he completed an extensive sold-out run of U.S. arenas with his “Colmillo de Leche Tour.” The 38-date run saw León performing at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, Newark’s Prudential Center, Houston’s Toyota Center, Miami’s Kaseya Center and more.
Originally from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, León embarked on his musical journey at the age of 15, taking his first steps by learning to play the guitar and developing skills in singing and songwriting. In 2018 León released his debut album Desvelada con Banda y Mariachi which propelled him to quickly dominate the Regional Mexican music scene as a performer, singer, and songwriter. In 2021, his album INÉDITO debuted atop the Apple Music charts, reaching #1 on the Mexican Music chart and #3 on the Latin Music chart and was named one of Billboard’s 25 Best Latin Albums of the year. León has received countless nominations and multiple awards, including an ASCAP Award for the song “Me La Aventé,” numerous Premio Lo Nuestro Awards (“Regional Mexican Breakthrough Artist,” “Best Male Artist” and “Banda Song of the Year”) and a 2022 Latin Grammy win for “Best Regional Mexican Song” for “Como lo Hice Yo,” a collaboration with Mexican pop group Matisse.

About Kane Brown:
Named “the future of country music” (Billboard), Multi-Platinum-selling, award-winning singer/songwriter Kane Brown recently released the follow up to his 10th #1 single at country radio, “I Can Feel It,” and announced his 2024 “In The Air Headlining Tour.” Brown first broke onto the scene with the arrival of his self-titled, 2X Platinum debut album (2016), where he became the first artist ever to lead all five of Billboard’s main country charts simultaneously. Brown topped the Billboard Top Country Albums chart for 13 weeks and earned two of the most-streamed country songs of all time (with chart-topping singles Diamond Certified “Heaven” and 8X Platinum “What Ifs”). His album Experiment (2018) hit #1 on the Billboard Top 200 all genre list, making him the first country artist in more than 24 years to top the chart with a sophomore album. Brown released his multi-song project Mixtape Vol. 1, which earned him an ACM Award nomination for Album of the Year (2021) and an ACM win for “Video of the Year.” Named to Time’s 100 most influential people in the world (2021), Kane Brown has ascended from independently built social media notability to an ACM Entertainer of the Year nominee (2023), and has become one of country music’s most accomplished mainstays and global entertainers. He has earned ten chart-topping No. 1 singles at country radio, headlined internationally sold out tours and stadium dates, and garnered a series of milestones that continue to expand the perception of country music and break musical boundaries; from being named to the Time 100 list (2021) to becoming the first black artist in history to headline and sell out Boston’s historic Fenway Park (2023) to winning ACM Video of the Year (2021) and multiple CMA, ACM, Billboard, AMA, CMT and People’s Choice Award nominations, with The NY Times noting, “Kane Brown didn’t fit the country music mold. So he made his own.”
