Writing Sessions America is set to host the highly anticipated Music Lounge Mixer, a distinguished red-carpet event dedicated to honoring Quality, Culture & Excellence within the entertainment industry. This prestigious gathering will take place at 690 Park, Cliffside Park, NJ, with doors opening at 8 PM EST and the official program commencing at 9 PM EST.
Music Lounge is more than just an event; it celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit and relationship-building power within the entertainment business. Under the visionary leadership of Founder and CEO Kevin Shine, Writing Sessions America is committed to creating spaces prioritizing collaboration and innovation. The experience provides an elite networking ambiance for entertainment, business, and finance professionals while celebrating influential ‘Indi-Preneurs’ who excel in shaping the quality of culture in music, business, television, and film.
This evening is extraordinary as it recognizes six outstanding individuals who have contributed significantly to the entertainment, business, and finance sectors. The honorees include Tiana Von Johnson, a renowned Television Producer, Financial Expert, and Public Speaker; Nikki Walker, an Amazon Best Seller, Utah Senate Candidate, and Media Specialist; Amelia Moore, Founder of SheEO and former Ruff Ryders Executive; Rashad “Rush” Coes, a Platinum Producer and Engineer; Tali Gore, NYC Ambassador and Celebrity DJ; and Jimi Kendrix, a Grammy-Nominated Platinum Producer. These individuals exemplify the essence of Quality Culture & Excellence, and their recognition at Music Lounge Mixer highlights the diversity and talent that drive the entertainment industry forward.

The event’s significance is further underscored by the success of Writing Sessions America’s recent BET Weekend gathering in Los Angeles, where 5X Grammy Award-winning producer Bernard ‘Focus…’ Edwards Jr. was honored with the Quality Culture Excellence Award for his impact on the global music landscape. Additionally, Dae One received the 2024 Vanguard Award, with music provided by The Legendary DJ Battlecat, adding a dynamic layer of entertainment to the experience.
Music Lounge Mixer has a rich history of featuring Grammy-winning guests and influential industry figures. Previous events have featured appearances by The Legendary DJ Battlecat, Antwan “Amadeus” Thompson, Roosevelt “Bink the Humble Monsta” Harrell III, Councilman Dupre “Doitall” Kelly, Corey “CL” Llewellyn, June Archer, Mista Raja, Terron Tidwell, and Shaun Bless. This year’s events promise to continue this tradition of excellence, offering attendees a unique opportunity to engage with leaders transforming the entertainment industry’s future.
Reflecting on the event’s significance, Kevin Shine shared, “I’m particularly excited to celebrate my birthday on this special night. For me, the greatest gift is witnessing the gathering of passionate individuals committed to advancing our culture and recognizing the exceptional talents that contribute to it. We are eager to welcome entertainment, business, and finance professionals to this curated space for collaboration and networking—what we like to call ‘Indi-Preneurship.’”
Music Lounge Mixer is not only a celebration but also a platform for building meaningful connections and the exploration of future opportunities among professionals from various industries. It embodies the spirit of innovation, entrepreneurship, and cultural excellence that Writing Sessions America champions.
