Vybe Vault RnB Returns for Live NYC Talent Showcase in September

Following a successful debut artist showcase earlier this year, Vybe Vault RnB is running it back for round two in Brooklyn, looking to find the next R&B star.

Founded by Morace Landy and Elaine Allen Landy, Vybe Vault RnB is returning on Sept. 4 for another showcase at The Sultan Room in Brooklyn. Tickets are currently available for $25, with the showcase running from 7 p.m. ET to 11 p.m. ET.

In addition to the auditions in front of a decorated panel and live audience, the night will include a performance from the Slam Clinic band as well as the first showcase’s winner, Adam Ness.

This season’s grand prize winner will walk away with a $5,000 gift card courtesy of Sweetwater.com to help purchase home studio equipment, and a slot in Vybe Vault’s artist mentorship program.

Per a press release, the mentorship program provides “emerging artists with the exposure, resources, and industry connections they need to succeed.” The weekly mentorship sessions will allow neophyte artists to gain wisdom and rub shoulders with established acts such as Fat Joe, Rotimi, Eric Bellinger, Hitmaka and Troy Taylor.

Morace Landy has just about seen it all in the music industry. He launched Evolution3 in 2015, which is a full-service company for artists offering assistance in “development, promotions, marketing and touring.” In the past, he’s worked with music icons such as Jay-Z, Mariah Carey, Luther Vandross, Babyface, T.I., Will Smith, Missy Elliott and plenty more. Landy also appeared on the Billboard’s 2018 Indie Power Players list when he served as Empire’s chief marketing strategist.

Beyond Sept. 4’s Vybe Vault RnB event, expect showcases to take place quarterly throughout the year.
