Perez Hilton has extended his involvement in the music scene beyond lending his face to Will.I.Am’s entourage as a punching bag. With Perez Presents, the self-proclaimed Queen of All Media has assembled some of his favourite artists (including one from his own label, Perezcious Music) for a North American tour de force.
“It’s been an idea I had for a few years now and it happened organically,” the blogger says. “I made sure ticket prices were affordable and all ages so as many people as possible could go. Everyone performing in the tour are artists that I’ve promoted in my events before.”
Those artists are Kelly Clarkson tour alum Eric Hutchinson, British electronica artist Frankmusik, Norwegian beauty Ida Maria, Julian Perretta, Ladyhawke, Semiprecious Weapons, and Sliimy.
It’s important to PH that people are there for the artists-all of whom he enthusiastically supports. “I want real music fans to go there, I want people who enjoy these artist’s music or who are open to new music. I guarantee a good time ’cause everyone performing puts on such an amazing show. They are different yet all work really well together.”
So why the change of scenery? Has the world’s most famous celebublogger grown tired of the grind?
“Oh, never! I love the website. I never [do] not want to blog.”
Sounds cool, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed for Perez Hilton The Musical, with special guest holograph solo performance by Will.I.Am.
