OAKLAND, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 29, 2024 / HiiiWAV, a nonprofit incubator for Black artist-led music and tech startups, announces HiiiWAV FEST on June 8th. Held at 2781 Telegraph Avenue, this free outdoor event blends AI & VR technology with musical performances to celebrate Black creativity and innovation.

HiiiWAV Fest is also the finale of HiiiWAV's AFRO AI MVP incubator. The top Black artist-led AI music tech startup will receive a $10,000 grant. Performers include The Pharcyde, Sol Development, and others. The festival will showcase new AI music technology and offer educational workshops on AI and music production.
