LOS ANGELES, CA (September 4, 2014) – Edgy boy-band, MIDNIGHT RΞD will be taking the stage to headline the Social Slam Selfie Awards on October 4th, 2014 after finishing their headlining tour in Spain.

 

“Spain was amazing! Now it’s time to tear up LA for the Social Slam Selfie Awards,” states Colton Rudloff.

 

Midnight Red is headed back home to the states for the awards show after headlining their 10-day tour in Spain. Starting off in Girona and finishing up in Huelva bringing out 15,000-30,000 international Redheads on average to each show.  Along with the tour and numerous radio and television appearances, the boys continue their Spain takeover as their hit single “Take Me Home” charts #1 on iTunes and “Contigo” continues to climb.

 

This is the first year for the Social Slam Selfie Awards which will be located at the Ben Kitay Sound Stages in Los Angeles. Midnight Red will be joined by more than 150 social media stars for a #SocialTakeover event including categories such as “Male/Female Personality of the Year,” “The Next,” “Best Duo/Group,” and “Fan Favorite.”

 

The boys won't be home for long as they leave for Brazil to perform at the infamous Z Festival the first week of October alongside teen icons, Austin Mahone and Fifth Harmony.

 

About MIDNIGHT RΞD: United by their intensely pure talent and passion for music of all kinds, Midnight Red's members hail from all over the U.S. The partnership between Grammy Award-winning producer/songwriter RedOne's 2101 showcases their powerhouse vocals and harnesses the combustible energy of their live show has proven to be a winning combination.

 

Near-lifelong singers and dancers hailing from wildly different backgrounds, Midnight Red saw its inception when Anthony and Eric met through their mutual vocal coach. A star dancer for Monsters of HipHop, Anthony had tried out as a backup dancer for Janet Jackson at age 12, then made it to the final round of auditions only to find he was too young to go on tour. After Anthony connected with Eric (through a vocal coach), the two reached out to Thomas, who soon relocated to L.A. from his rural Texas hometown to join the group. A self-described music obsessive "raised by MTV," Thomas devoted his high school years to scouting out any opportunity to sing onstage, and had crossed paths with Eric through a singing competition when he was 15. Next, the group tracked down Colton after stumbling across a YouTube video of the aspiring singer/school-chorus star covering Jesse McCartney's "Leavin." To round out the lineup, Midnight Red's then-manager tapped Joey, another aspiring singer who was attending California State University, Northridge (and whose singer/songwriter father, Joey Diggs Sr., has recorded vocals with the likes of Smokey Robinson, Whitney Houston and Rod Stewart.)
