On the 23rd September, SA Music News & Entertainment had the privilege of attending the Trace Awards Tour Party. An enchanting event hosted by the trailblazing entertainment brand. This memorable evening was graced by the presence of Trace’s CEO and Founder, Olivier Laouchez.

The tour party event was not only a celebration of music and talent, but also gave testament to the enduring legacy of Trace. A brand that has captivated audiences for twenty years.
