(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, April 29, 2019 ) Each year, Swisher Sweets hosts an exclusive event in Los Angeles where the biggest names in the industry come together and celebrate what’s on the horizon for the new year. Swisher also honors one special artist with the Spark Award, which is given to a prominent figure in the industry who has gone above and beyond in their career. For 2019, Swisher chose the talented, superstar Cardi B as the recipient.
The 26-year-old rapper hit the red carpet at the award ceremony on April 12. No stranger to awards, Cardi B is the recipient of numerous awards including a Grammy Award, three American Music Awards, a Billboard Music Award, two BET Awards, and three MTV Video Music Awards. She has also broken the Guinness World Record for most simultaneous Billboard U.S. Hot 100 entries by a female, a record previously held by Beyonce.
The Swisher Sweets Artist Project is an ongoing initiative to provide unique opportunities for artists to create, share, and pursue their passion. For fans, it’s a way to be at the forefront of what’s new and emerging in the world of music, arts, and entertainment.
At this year’s event, Step and Repeat LA provided green hedge walls with signage and a red carpet to greet guests and the honoree.
Step and Repeat LA specializes in the creation of red-carpet backdrops, better known in the entertainment industry as ‘step and repeats’. They are used for photo opportunities at special events and feature an array of sponsor logos. Step and repeat backdrops have become increasingly popular among everyday consumers and are commonly seen at grand openings, as well as charity and business events.
Rachel Guerrero, a representative of Step and Repeat LA, says, “We really love working on award shows. No matter how big or small, they tend to be in a hurry and with our rush turnaround capabilities, we can turn an order into reality in 24 hours.”
