UnitedMasters: A Celebration of Independence

Grammy Week Concert · Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles

Grammy week in Los Angeles has its rituals — the label showcases, the industry dinners, the events that exist for optics. UnitedMasters built something different: an annual concert during Grammy week that actually earns its place. Real artists, real performances, real crowds that came for the music. Taíno Studios has been there for three of those nights — 2023, 2024, and 2026 — working the floor through every set.

The 2023 lineup featured Uncle Waffles, Tokischa, and Davido at the Hollywood Palladium. Taíno Studios returned in 2024, and again in 2026. The only gap was 2025, when the Los Angeles wildfires forced the cancellation. The event came back. So did we. In addition to photography, Taíno Studios served as the on-site executive team representative through agency APT-122, supervising staff and ensuring operations ran smoothly across the production.
