This year ONE Musicfest brings in the talents of Santigold, Big KRIT, Marsha Ambrosius formerly of Floetry, Eric Roberson and legends of Hip-Hop, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, Dougie Fresh, and MC Lyte. Santi White, better known by her stage name Santigold, recently released her second album - Master of My Make-Believe and will join ONE MusicFest for her first ever performance in Atlanta. Additional acts will be announced in the coming weeks. Previous ONE MusicFest concert headliners include internationally acclaimed artists such as Common, De La Soul, Goapele, Chrisette Michelle, The Pharcyde, DJ Mick Boogie and a cornucopia of grassroots talent. ONE Musicfest's mission of Unity Through Music earned the festival organizers the city of Atlanta's coveted "Phoenix Award." Infusing artists and bands that will unify spectators through the universal language of sound, ONE Musicfest fills a necessary void in the city's music experience."There is a lack of representation for soul, progressive hip-hop, alternative and rock, represented under one roof, in the format of music festivals in Atlanta", states J Carter, ONE Musicfest Producer. "We have noticed that while there are many pockets of individuals that share taste in the same music, rarely do you see them share in this together. ONE Musicfest was created with the idea of 'music as the universal language. Over time we aim to grow this fest into a phenomenon and bring together different sectors of individuals through a unique music platform."With the diverse musical and cultural appetites within a city rich in a history of great musical tradition, ONE Musicfest pledges to provide an environment that truly caters to the genre bending palette. ONE Musicfest will take place Labor Day Weekend on Saturday, September 1, 2012.
