Latonius Earl performed at Local Celebrity LA round 4th and Movie Producer Robert Boleyn ‘s Birthday Bash

Latonius Earl performed live at Local Celebrity Los Angeles round 4th and Movie Producer Robert Boleyn ‘s Birthday Bash.

It was promoted as the Green Room Carpet, but according to venue representatives, this could not be possible. They used the red carpet and step and repeat on the balcony. The judges were interviewed first by Emcee Ryan Ray of Wake Up TV and then the contestants were interviewed. After the judges finished getting interviewed, they were invited to the red carpet one by one for a photo opportunity. Then the contestants got the chance to get their photos taken on the red carpet. After all was done, celebrities and personalities were invited one by one for their photo opportunity and lastly every one took group photos.

“It was a great pleasure to attend your Local Celebrity LA last night. I liked it very much so. The setting at the club is quiet unusual, since the singers have to perform on the balcony, which creates a somewhat surreal effect. There were some truly good performers, and many moments of vocal excellence and artistic confidence. The host Ryan was most charming, and kept the whole event moving with a delightful and dynamic pace.” said Maestro Alex Varden, M.A. (vocal coach & music director).

He continued “Judge Arnold G was very supportive and understanding, with a big heart and love for music and dance. Judge Fawn was most professional; clear, focused, detailed, strict, honest and intelligent. Judge Kris S. a very serious and knowledgeable musician, with a warm and inspiring personality, keen ear and sharp eye.”

“Local Celebrity has been one of the best experiences I have had since moving from Chicago to Los Angeles. I think performing in front of judges and a live audience has given me the experience I need to go on to a career in pop music. I think everyone left in the competition is extremely talented and whoever wins will definitely represent L.A. well in the music world.” said Jaime Adrian Reyes, singer/artist and former Local Celebrity LA Contestant.
