Award season is our favorite season at Neon Entertainment, and we had a blast watching the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards this past weekend. Each week we share with you trending artists in the entertainment industry that are available to bring to campus for your next large event, like Spring Fest. This week we have three artists that we think deserve an award.
