Live It Up With RLife LIVE

RLife LIVE is a special music platform presented by Renaissance Hotels that extends the live music experience. Interaction is the key with up-and-coming artists mingling with guests and local patrons. Other RLife LIVE features include listening parties, post-concert events and other unique moments. With Rlife LIVE, you just don’t see a show and perhaps get an autograph. Instead, the program’s main purpose is to deliver a live and interactive music experience you can’t find anywhere else.

Who’s on tap for this year’s RLife LIVE? Three artists hail from Sony Music Entertainment. Hugo scored a hit with the remix of “99 Problems” that was recently featured on the “No Strings Attached” soundtrack. Australian singer/songwriter Lenka who is known for her song “The Show” that has been featured on “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Ugly Betty” and Andrew Allen, the singer/songwriter whose first single “Loving You Tonight” is making its presence known on radio. Allen’s debut album – What You Wanted – drops in June.

N*E*R*D is also getting a little RLife action as Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley bring their rock/funk/hip hop sound to various Renaissance properties beginning in Atlanta May 25.

Then there’s pianist/singer/songwriter Eric Lewis a.k.a. ELEW. Currently on tour with Josh Groban, ELEW will stop at 10 different Renaissance Hotels.

Finally, there’s singer/songwriter/producer Bruno Mars who, at 25 has already achieved chart glory with hits such as “Just The Way You Are” and “Grenade” as well as co-writing “Right Round,” the hit by Flo Rida that featured Ke$ha.
