BTS’ J-Hope, Taylor Swift, Snoop Dogg & others are among artists who’ve donated items to auction
Julien’s Auctions has announced the marquee lineup of items to be sold at 2023 MusiCares Charity Relief Auction taking place live at Julien’s Auctions and online juliensauctions.com on Sunday, February 5th. BTS’ J-Hope, Taylor Swift, Snoop Dogg, Fleetwood Mac, Harry Styles, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Eminem, David Lee Roth, Olivia Rodrigo and others have all personally donated items for the benefit that precedes the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.
J-Hope donates the outfit worn during his debut solo album photo shoot for his chart-topping Jack In The Box. The ensemble includes a black utility-style jumpsuit, a buckle belt, a black cotton T-shirt with distressing along the hem and neckline and a black ribbed bunny ear beanie. This ensemble was worn by the pop star in the “concept photos” for one of the album’s main tracks, “More.”
Cordell Broadus, along with his father, Snoop Dogg, team up with XOUNTS Sound Systems to donate signed Champ Medici and Dr. Bombay sound systems and skins with a very special NFT. In addition to the two sound systems, this lot also includes an exclusive NFT with art by Clay Nation who sold out their 10K NFT collection in just a few hours and maintains an ongoing partnership with Cordell and Snoop. The holder of this NFT will be invited to spend the afternoon at Snoop Dogg’s recording studio, The Compound, for a special recording session and enjoy food catered by Cordell Broadus’ company, Bored Taco. The XOUNTS NFT is a one-of-one that cannot be replicated, as it will be minted on the Polygon blockchain and transferred directly from the Julien’s wallet to the buyer’s. The XOUNTS sound and ambiance system is according to Cordell “the future.” It is a unique combination of sound, design and light. The 360° sound technology paired with the powerful subwoofer ensure that every room is flooded with music. Customizable skins and ambiance light round off the perfect concert feeling for your home. The signed Style Covers feature the NFTs owned by Cordell Broadus and Snoop Dogg from the famous Bored Ape Yacht Club Collection. It unites the Web3 with the real world in a special way and is the perfect fit for your home. The lot is accompanied by photos of Cordell Broadus and Snoop Dogg signing the Style Covers.
