Incredible Performances
The night kicked off with DJ Aaron Colbert—LA's sought-after sonic architect who's spun for big brands like Lamborghini and award show celebrity lounges—setting the perfect vibe, followed by the masterful DJCJ (ESPN, Maxim, Netflix) whose career blends hip-hop foundations with genre-defying artistry, before culminating in an incredible mini-concert by rising "Glitter Soul" sensation Georgia Starnes, NBC's The Voice contestant who fuses pop and R&B with Grammy-winning production collaborations.
The event was elevated by Wildfire Arts Entertainment's captivating character performers—featuring an enchanting flower garden character and a whimsical pink pop-up dress performer greeting guests by the red carpet, plus a mesmerizing contortionist show from the Los Angeles-based luxury entertainment company known for their world-class circus artistry, fire dancing, and immersive character performances that transform any venue into an unforgettable spectacle.

His intimate strolling magic created spontaneous moments of wonder, transforming casual conversations into fun experiences as guests found themselves delightfully bewildered by his sleight of hand.

The Heart of Hollywood
At the heart of our Emmys Pre-Party was the magic that happens when creative minds collide — a space where industry professionals, artists, and visionaries turn a gathering into something unforgettable. Our guests don’t simply attend; they bring the energy, spark the conversations, and forge the connections that make Hollywood’s creative community thrive. These are the moments we live for — when talent meets opportunity, friendships are born over shared dreams, and the room hums with possibility. It’s why we love curating spaces where the entertainment industry’s brightest can come together, unwind, and create the kind of magic that only happens when the right people meet at the right time.
This year’s Emmys were iconic...and we’re grateful to have celebrated alongside such amazing partners at our Emmys Pre-Party! Here’s to the next big LA Today industry event in Los Angeles!
