MojaMoja Annual Brunch & Benefit Concert To Celebrate 10 Years And Honor will.i.am, The Revolution & The Beat Junkies


For the past several years, one of our favorite events during GRAMMY weekend has been the MojaMoja Annual Brunch and Benefit Concert. The yearly event has bridged the gap between good music, food and a worthy cause while celebrating the legacies of music legends like Sheila E.Mavis Staples, and Nile Rodgers. While this year's GRAMMY Awards traded in its Los Angeles home for the Big Apple, the good folks at MojaMoja are proving that the show will go on with the 10th anniversary of their annual celebration set to take place Saturday, February 10th. This year's event, which will return to the iconic Avalon Hollywood, will honor will.i.am.The Revolution and The Beat Junkies.

He also made history in 2012 by becoming the first recording artist to send a song to Mars when he partnered with NASA's Curiosity Mars Space.  To honor his contributions, he will be presented his award by Olympia LePoint, an award-winning rocket scientist who has been referred to as a modern-day Hidden Figure.
