"I am absolutely honored to be collaborating with the Recording Academy for this exciting GRAMMYs collection," Brast Studios CEO Mark Braster said. "Through this experience, I'm hoping to inspire others like me. When the stars align, you can overcome many obstacles."
Mark Braster is a creative director and the founder of Brast Studio from Fort Wayne, Ind. Braster has worked with several prominent names across the music and fashion industry, including Rolling Loud, SZA, the Los Angeles Lakers, Jack Harlow, Kodak Black, H&M, Lil Wayne, Neiman Marcus, Rick Ross, Young Thug, and more. As CEO of Brast Studios, he is currently the lead merch designer for Rolling Loud 2023.
"Music and fashion have always gone hand-in-hand, pushing the boundaries of culture and defining style for each new generation," John Loken, Executive Vice President of Marketing at the Recording Academy, said. "And because the GRAMMYs have always honored the best in music, we worked with Mark and our partners at CBS to develop a collection that evokes what's next: where music is going along with the mystery of which stars will align at this year's telecast. This capsule is the first in a series of artist collabs with our brand in the years ahead."
