Fully immersive experience will be delivered to theaters worldwide; Company continues to build its artist pipeline as it delivers a new class of music entertainment
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AmazeVR, the VR company that brings artists closer to fans through immersive technologies, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Roc Nation recording artist Megan Thee Stallion. AmazeVR will create a one-of-a-kind immersive experience for Megan, featuring an offline and online roll out that includes a theatrical release in select locations outfitted with haptic motion chairs and a music metaverse service available through at-home VR headsets. The experience will be introduced to the public early next year.
"Creativity is limitless in the world of virtual reality, which means the concepts and ideas I have can also be limitless," said Megan. "I am so excited to work with AmazeVR to take my wild ideas and make them into a virtual reality for all my fans to see. Get ready!"
Megan Thee Stallion continues to take the world by storm. She has been recognized for her musical achievements with three GRAMMY wins (including Best New Artist), nine BET Awards, two NAACP Image Awards, a People's Choice Award, an American Music Award, Soul Train Music Award, two Mtv Video Music Award and she was named Apple Music's 2020 Breakthrough Artist of the Year. Megan was also one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People of 2020 and recently became the first female rapper to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
"Megan Thee Stallion is a true artist," said Ernest Lee, co-CEO of AmazeVR. "We are putting together a show unlike anything that's been done before. It will be an epic, yet personal, performance that allows anyone to feel like they are right there with Megan for a shared experience."
