Inspiring: It was six years ago that Eric Burton of Black Pumas performed on the Santa Monica pier. The fact that they were nominated was itself a huge step for the duo. The two describe their music as soulful. While performing
Colours, Eric Burton was dressed in a white-and-black jacket, playing jazzy notes. It was Adrian Quesada, the guitarist, who added a bit of rock with his solos.

Rags to riches: Much like Black Pumas, the story of DaBaby is also one of hustling through life. Before his performance, DaBaby mentioned in a video clip that he came from a place of “nothing”, where it was hard for him to even get a haircut. For someone who was “up against all odds” it was inspiring to see him being nominated in four categories. Although he didn’t win any, he lived up to his name with a performance of Rockstar in which he orchestrated a choir, creating a fusion with hip-hop, dressed in a white Chanel suit, done up with some spark.
