Hennessy Artistry is a famed global music platform that takes place in over 40 countries worldwide. The campaign mixes unique talent and provides the finest mixed drinks to create an exceptional blend of music, style, culture and people.
In the past, Hennessy Artistry has collaborated with acclaimed musicians like Mary J. Blige, Q-Tip, Jay Electronica, Ice Cube, Erykah Badu and Kid Sister, among others, all adding to the growing history of Hennessy Artistry. Each event features some of the most cutting edge technology and formidable names in music today. This year marks the 5th Hennessy Artistry in the Philippines, and for that milestone Hennessy has planned its most grand combination of musical blends, starting with crowd favorite OPM band, Up Dharma Down.
Hennessy’s hand-picked artist, Up Dharma Down is considered to be a band different from all others in the Philippines today. They are able to combine several elements from different genres using a wide range of musical instruments to make their own music.
The band joins this year’s Hennessy Artistry in the spirit of promoting the local and international music scene to everyone. These are the reasons why Hennessy thought they would best represent what Hennessy Artistry is all about; the art of mixing and creating unique musical experiences. They opened Hennessy Artistry with a surprise performance in Bonifacio High Street two weeks ago, to the delight of the mall-goers.
Hennessy Artistry is a one month journey that culminates through their annual Halo event on June 19 at Valkyrie, where you can expect local music to get elevated to new heights. As this will be a by-invite only event, music lovers can get exclusive access by attending the club series where every purchase of Hennessy VS comes with one access card for two to the exclusive culminating experience. The series of club events will be held in prestigious clubs around the metro featuring young talent and local music. The lineup of local artists for the club series include Quest, Yolanda Moon, Nix Damp P!, Macky Brillantes, LDP, Toons Canoy, Alvin Cornista, Abdel Aziz, DJ Aryan and many more. So be prepared to get blown away by homegrown talents as they collaborate with international acts such as Brooklyn native DJ NY Giant at Raven on June 11, and Australian EDM Duo Nervo at Valkyrie on June 19 as you’ve never heard them before.
Patrons can also avail of Hennessy’s promo.
