# The Voice of Upstate > We create a live stage for rising artists across Upstate communities. Through artist showcases, interviews, promotional content, and real event energy, I help performers get in front of new audiences and build meaningful connections. My focus is simple: spotlight local talent, bring people together, and give artists a place to be heard, supported, and remembered. - Email: MBBWRLDHQ@GMAIL.COM - Phone: +15189518926 - **What is a live artist showcase?** A live artist showcase is an event where performers present their music or creative work in front of an audience.
