Moving on after he was named winner of the Recording Of the Year Category at Hip hop World Awards in May 2009, Soft Rock Act, Etcetera shocked fans and the Entertainment industry as a whole when he teamed up with his record label X3M Music to throw the first ever black tie gig in the Nigerian Music scene last Sunday.
As usual, a black tie invitation calls for formal attire. Men wear tuxedos, women wear cocktail, long dresses or dressy evening separates. The event gave room for trendy interpretations of formal wears and the guests didn’t fall below expectation as they appeared in different hues of tuxedos and dresses.
With a cocktail of drinks, spoken word, beautiful poetry and soft music, guests lounged and networked; spending the entire evening hob-nobbing, back slapping and exchanging banters.
