The sixth annual Hispanicize event will continue to have a strong focus on helping attendees discover new music and bringing new fans to indie artists. “We carefully curated the artists who will be performing at this year’s Artist On The Rise stage. We wanted every day to feel completely different. One day you’ll be hearing a love song on a ukulele, next a full on Mariachi band, followed by the hottest DJ in the west coast, and some pop & R&B; All musically different, but all equally talented,” said Hispanicize Co-Founder and Music Executive Director, Katherine Johnson Gunn.
