Next Aid benefit photos w/ Colette & Samantha James

On September 12 Next Aid teamed up with Om Records for a special benefit in support of recent releases by Samantha James and Colette. The event took place at Nacional in Hollywood and it was a packed house. Nu-Soul artist Samantha James got right in with the crowd of dancers as she sang her #1 hit "Rise". The appreciative fans all raised their hands in praise! Colette took control of the decks shortly after to rock the crowd with her banging house and catchy new tunes from her album Push.
