Several fans and various media outlets had an opportunity to meet with the cast of Claws for their season 2 red carpet premiere. The Claws cast consist of Niecy Nash, Jimmie Jean Louis, Karrueche and more. The event took place on May19, 2018 at the Regal’s movie theater at Atlantic Station at 6p.m

I had the pleasure of speaking with both Jimmie Jean Louis who is a Haitian actor and model best known for his role as “the Haitian” on the NBC television series Heroes; and received the Africa Movie Academy Award for Best Actor In Leading Role, and is now apart of one of the new and hottest tv shows, Claws. During the Claws red carpet, Mr. Louis gave a bit of insight on the obstacles he had to come over come due to being a black man from another country entering into the entertainment industry, he said he believed this industry was his way out of poverty so he took it.

I also had the pleasure speaking with the gorgeous, Emmy Award winning actress, Niecy Nash. She too expressed her opinion on overcoming obstacles in such a competitive industry. “You have obstacles in any industry as a black woman but you have to have intuitiveness, believe what God told you to do in your life and push forward with that thing no matter what,” Niecy responded. The actress further explained that’s what she did, and then ended with a word of advice by simply stating, “Make sure you know the difference between the call over your life and a hobby.”

In conclusion, both actors were filled with energy and not only gave insight about some of their personal life views but expressed their thrill for the second season of Claws; which, will air on Sunday, June 10 at 9/8c, the network announced on Thursday. Neither actors spoke solely on the new season of Claws to save from spilling the tea. So be on the lookout. It’s a show you don’t want to miss.

This October, Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) will host an event that is as much about cultural exchange as it is about electronic music. On Thursday, 23 October, Cheerful Music—one of China’s most dynamic and internationally recognized record labels—will present Building The Bridge at Escape’s Royal Room, a showcase that promises to illuminate the emerging dialogue between Chinese and global electronic music.

For over a decade, Cheerful Music has cultivated a unique sonic identity, blending Mandarin-infused vocals with EDM and dance-pop textures. Hits like YI XIAO JIANG HU (Subject Three) and XIAO CHENG XIA TIAN have captivated audiences at home and abroad, positioning the label at the forefront of a movement that seeks to redefine China’s presence in the global music landscape. Building The Bridge is an extension of that mission—a curated evening where performance, collaboration, and innovation converge.

The showcase is designed as a conduit for cross-cultural dialogue. Attendees will experience DJ sets, live performances, and cross-border collaborations that emphasize both creativity and connectivity. A standout segment, the Live Song Plug, invites topliners to present new material to an audience of Chinese and international artists, fostering spontaneous artistic exchange. Meanwhile, a cultural insight session offers a rare glimpse into the evolution of music markets across regions, illuminating trends, challenges, and opportunities.

Cheerful Music’s approach exemplifies a broader phenomenon: the globalization of electronic music. By merging Eastern motifs with Western production techniques, the label has cultivated a sound that is distinctively Chinese yet universally resonant. Building The Bridge is not simply a concert; it is a statement of intent, an invitation for collaboration, and a platform for dialogue between disparate yet increasingly interconnected musical worlds.

Tickets for the event start at €15, with a limited number of complimentary passes available through networking drinks hosted by the label. For those seeking to witness the future of electronic music and to experience a thoughtful intersection of cultures, Cheerful Music’s ADE showcase offers an evening that is as intellectually stimulating as it is sonically exhilarating—a true testament to the power of music to transcend borders.
