On August 27th, 2010, 11 amazing competitiors performed at the Ford Amphiteather for the prize of $1000 at Kollaboration Acoustic 4.  Kollaboration is a non-profit organization that holds these fun filled talent show style performances twice a year.  Once for a full on 6000 packed main event, and once for a smaller casual acoustic show.  With a sold out crowd tonight, Dawen came out ahead with the votes from the celebrity judges. 

As the totals were tallied, one of the very talented guest judges performed a few songs as well.  Marie Digby, YouTube star turned mainstream popstar, sang 3 amazing songs for a very enthusiastic crowd.  Just 3 years ago Marie was singing her version of "Umbrella" in front of her camera at home, and today she has 3 records out, has sung on Carson Daly, and even has a ABC mini-series coming out soon.  Her video on YouTube still continues to play and has racked in over 17 Million views.  She is not only extremely talented, but super nice.

Dawen is an R&B, Soul, Singer-Songwriter based in Los Angeles.  As he came to the stage, you could tell he had a following as his fans and supporters started to cheer.  With a funny, lighthearted song entitled "Shoes", his humor was apparent as well as his musical talents.  In the end, that was all he needed to do to win his title of Acoustic 4 Grand Champion and claim his oversized $1000 prize.

Congratuations to all the performers, to Dawen, and all the Kollaboration Staff for an amazing job and excellent show.  Please check back for an additional blog posting with additional photos of all the performers and more information about Kollaboration.
