"Less than a week after winning two Grammy awards, artist Kehlani stepped onto the stage to headline the Big Game Block Party in San Jose Friday night. And the crowd went wild. The event and the afterparty in San Francisco immediately following it represented a victory lap of sorts for the musician who received two Grammys, one each for best R&B song and best R&B performance, for their song, Folded, on Feb. 1."
"During the show, they took a moment to welcome out-of-town visitors here for the Super Bowl and celebrate the magic of the Bay Area. I'm always so grateful to be able to come back and see when massive events get to happen in the Bay, and all these people get to comeand see how magical we are. Because for so long, only we knew how magical we were, they told the cheering crowd. So, welcome."
"Friday's performance was a tightly choreographed set, featuring songs like After Hours, Gangsta, Change Your Life, Everything, Honey, and newer works including Folded and Out the Window. Kehlani's performance was the culmination of an afternoon and evening of the San Jose City Hall's transformation into the epicenter of a music festival celebrating a diverse array of talented Bay Area artists and musicians."
Kehlani, who won two Grammys for Folded, headlined the Big Game Block Party in San Jose less than a week after the awards. The performance and a San Francisco afterparty acted as a victory lap for the musician. Kehlani referenced denouncing Immigration and Customs Enforcement in an acceptance speech. Kehlani has deep Bay Area roots, growing up in Oakland and attending the Oakland School for the Arts and Berkeley High. During the show, Kehlani welcomed out-of-town Super Bowl visitors and celebrated the Bay Area. The tightly choreographed set included older and newer songs and capped a festival that drew an estimated 15,000 attendees.
