CHASE BELL & LIRA BRING “DO ME” TO GLENDALE FOR A NIGHT OF MUSIC, CULTURE, ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND GLOBAL CONNECTION

GLENDALE, CA — On October 9, 2026, international recording artist Chase Bell and South African music icon Lira will headline “Do Me: Performances and Panels,” a dynamic evening bringing together live music, entrepreneurship, fashion, culture, media and global networking inside a 1,600-seat Glendale venue. The experience begins at 6:00 p.m. with red-carpet arrivals and brand activations, followed by influential entrepreneur interviews and panels at 7:00 p.m., the headline performance at 8:00 p.m., and a celebration at 10:00 p.m.

Bell has built a successful independent career across the United States, Europe, Asia and Africa, earning attention for his distinctive fusion of instrumental harmonics, captivating vocals and high-energy guitar performances. Known for electrifying audiences—including playing guitar behind his head—Bell has collaborated and performed across R&B, Electronic and AfroPop spaces. In 2023, he released “Chasing Your Dream” with Grammy-nominated artist Aloe Blacc, leading to live appearances at major entrepreneurial gatherings including XPRIZE and Abundance 360.

In 2026, Bell expanded his international reach through his collaboration with multi-platinum South African artist Lira following the success of their independent release “Do Me.” Their musical partnership has connected audiences across continents and now comes to Southern California for an evening celebrating artistry, cultural exchange and international creative collaboration.

Lira, an 11-time South African Music Award winner, is celebrated for a sophisticated sound blending soul, funk, jazz and African influences. Her acclaimed career, global presence and unmistakable vocal style bring additional depth to an event designed to connect entertainment with business and cultural leadership.

Adding another Afrobeat dimension to the experience, multilingual and highly recognized artist Rich D will have his soon-to-be-released love song, “My Own,” featured in the background during the event. Rich D will also be available for press interviews, media opportunities and audience engagement, creating another point of connection between emerging Afrobeat talent, the African diaspora and the wider entertainment community.

The event will welcome entrepreneurs, creatives, media, business leaders and members of the African diaspora. Event materials also highlight participation from the South African Consulate-General in Los Angeles, strengthening the evening’s emphasis on cultural and economic connection.
