Dance with a Diva
Lilian Garcia was a special presenter at the DJ Times Convention at the Hard Rock Cafe in Atlantic City, N.J.'s Trump Taj Mahal Resort & Casino last week. The Raw ring announcer and recording artist hobnobbed with music industry executives, DJs and other musicians.
“Cyndi Lauper was there – she has a dance record. Katrina from Katrina and the Waves, DJ Roonie G and DJ Second Nature performed amazing sets. I got to open up the show. Joey Fatone was the official host,” Garcia said.
“Jo and Slade were there from Bravo’s Date My Ex because Jo has a new record that’s also dance. She was there performing, closing the show,” she said.
The Diva was also particularly excited to meet Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist and producer, Akon.
“It was awesome. When they told me he’d be part of the show, I was so stoked,” Garcia said. “Meeting him, he was just so genuine and so down to earth. That guy likes to smile! He was backstage just having a great time. And his show was great. It was fun to be a part of it.”
And WWE Universe, get ready for some breaking news… The Diva wasn’t only there just to present. She was at the convention to begin preliminary work on her next record!
“I was there because I’m actually working with DJ Mike Rizzo on some new songs, and we’re starting to put together some tunes,” she said.
