SUMMARY:Sheila E. & the E-Train
DESCRIPTION:   \n2021 LATIN GRAMMY LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD \nOne of life’s constants for Sheila E. comes down to a simple phrase: follow the beat. And her impeccable inner rhythm is the pulse behind a trailblazing career that still knows no bounds. \nFamily\, faith and music were guiding forces for Sheila E. growing up in the Bay Area. There\, she grew up with father\, percussionist dad Pete\, and uncles Coke Escovedo (Santana\, Azteca) and Dragons frontman Mario Escovedo. Further\, fellow Latin star Tito Puente was her godfather. In addition to being weaned on Latin jazz and Motown\, Sheila E. was exposed to a diverse array of Bay Area acts. \nIt’s no surprise that after such a music-immersive childhood\, the gifted world-class drummer began amassing an impressive string of credits. She has performed with her dad and with pioneering talents. For example\, George Duke\, Herbie Hancock\, Marvin Gaye\, Diana Ross\, Lionel Richie\, Prince\, Ringo Starr\, Gloria Estefan\, Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez. \nA fearless multi-instrumentalist\, Sheila is also the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter behind the seminal hits “The Glamorous Life” and “A Love Bizarre.” This renaissance woman is equally proficient in percussion\, guitar\, and bass\, as well as an actress\, mentor and philanthropist. \nFollowing a Bay Area gig in the late ‘70s\, Sheila E. met Prince backstage. Their Purple Rain recording sessions morphed into launching her solo career that same year. These sessions also include her vocals on the 1984 classic “Erotic City”. She also performed at the 2012 Academy Awards with pop hitmaker Pharrell Williams and composer Hans Zimmer. Sheila E. was also among the roster of stars chosen to perform at the 2013 Kennedy Center Honors. There\, the honorees included artists Herbie Hancock\, Billy Joel and Carlos Santana. \nRecommended for Fans of Prince\, Chaka Khan\, Janet Jackson and Lenny Kravitz.

SUMMARY:David Cook
DESCRIPTION:  \nDavid Cook launched into stardom following his American Idol Season Seven win. He broke several Billboard chart records when fourteen of his songs debuted on the Hot Digital Songs chart. Additionally\, eleven of his songs debuted on the Hot 100. His first album\, 2006’s Analog Heart\, came out pre-Idol. Then\, his last album\, 2015’s Digital Vein\, nicely book-ended that chapter of Cook’s career. He sold more than 2 million albums (including his platinum-certified eponymous album). Collectively\, more than 5 million tracks (including two platinum-certified singles) worldwide. \nDavid continues to find success\, not only for himself but also as a writer for other artists and touring worldwide. 2018 brought an exciting new EP from Cook – Chromance. A fan of Massive Attack and Nine Inch Nails\, Cook admired their ability to bring pop elements into rock music. \nThat same year\, he headed to the Great White Way for his Broadway debut as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots. “I’ve had conversations about finding creative outlets outside of being a musician\, but the timing was never right.” While Cook was excited about his first starring role\, he was also aware the message behind Kinky Boots was timely and relevant.  \nCook is aware of and grateful for the breaks American Idol has given him and for his continued opportunities. Furthermore\, he has no plans to slow it down. “I love creative endeavors. I like starting with nothing and then finishing with something that didn’t exist before. That’s my favorite thing about creating new music. I love being able to put something artistic out in the world for people to enjoy.” \nRecommended for fans of Adam Lambert\, Five For Fighting\, Howie Day and Edwin McCain.
