BREAKING HITS Curates an Intimate Night of Music, Culture, and Connection in Hollywood

Hollywood, CA – On Saturday, June 28th, 2025, BREAKING HITS hosted its latest Music Industry Social, an exclusive gathering of artists, executives, and cultural tastemakers at a private venue in the heart of Hollywood. The evening celebrated creative community, emerging talent, and the growing intersection of music and technology — all hallmarks of the BREAKING HITS mission to redefine how the industry discovers and elevates talent.

The highlight of the night was a powerful live performance by Ali Caldwell, the internationally acclaimed vocalist known for her standout runs on The Voice and The Four, as well as her tours with Usher and Christina Aguilera. In a surprise moment during the evening, Caldwell was presented with the first-ever BREAKING HITS Harmony of Excellence Award — an honor recognizing an artist who embodies not only vocal power and harmony, but also unity, impact, and soul.

Caldwell was joined onstage by a dynamic lineup of performers, including:

• JeRonelle, whose emotive style and rich vocals have made him one of R&B’s rising voices
• Taneka Samone, a commanding presence onstage with a résumé that includes touring with Lady Gaga and Childish Gambino
• Aria Mody, an 18-year-old singer-songwriter and Rolling Stone feature artist, with over 7.5 million views across her breakout singles

The evening was soundtracked by DJ Ricky Belfort, known for his genre-fusing sets and remixes, and hosted by Elle.

Attendees included a curated mix of music executives, creatives, and brand leaders, with representation from Von Dutch Paris, Jeff Blue, Wealth Garden Entertainment, Luminary Sounds 99.3FM, ASAP Talent Agency, and more.

As always, the event was powered by the BREAKING HITS App — a platform that allows fans to discover, rate, and support artists in real time. With red carpet moments, live showcases, and meaningful conversations throughout the night, the gathering embodied what BREAKING HITS continues to cultivate: real connection through shared culture and sound.
