About Us
King Ryan Events has produced charity benefits, private parties, Hollywood red carpet events, and musical showcases, but is best known for its work with hip hop artists. King Ryan Events works with talented up-and-coming musicians in addition to promoting events featuring performances by superstars like Sean “Diddy” Combs and Mary J. Blige.
Urban Kings Showcase, a talent competition for hip hop artists, is owned by King Ryan Events. At these showcases, the producer and host crowns the best rap artist of the evening after performances are evaluated by judges from labels like Universal Music Group, Atlantic Records, Def Jam, Warner Bros. Records, and Sony Music Entertainment. Rappers are judged based on criteria such as stage presence, audience participation, star power, originality, and lyrical ability. Urban Kings Showcase events are held monthly in Los Angeles and quarterly in New York and Atlanta. The winning acts then compete in a Best of the Best showcase event that is considered a “Super Bowl” of undiscovered hip hop talent. Through the Urban Kings Showcase, King Ryan Events aspires to help introduce hip hop talent to a new generation of listeners.
In addition to its work with Urban Kings Showcase, King Ryan Events also hosts iShowcase Music. The basic format of this event is similar, but iShowcase Music incorporates performances by a broader range of musicians. Acts can include pop singers, R&B singers, and rock bands appealing to mainstream audiences. These iShowcase Music events are held throughout the United States and Canada, providing featured performers unparalleled opportunities for audience exposure, professional networking, and photos for their press kits.
As America’s premier event company, King Ryan Events is proud to support the charitable efforts of Angelwish.org, a nonprofit organization providing assistance to chronically ill children.
