Ivy Shades’ recently released single and music video, “Photo,” has received critical acclaim from several media outlets. She recorded the catwalk-ready anthem after being inspired by her first pair of red-bottomed shoes, purchased with her hard-earned money. Ivy talks passionately about owning her power as a woman and avoiding the pitfalls of a male-driven misogynistic industry.

The private red carpet studio meet and greet featured cocktails by 50 Cent’s Branson Cognac and welcomed music industry guests from Epic Records, Dogg Pound, Death Row Records, Kannon Entertainment and more.
Ivy Shades recently partnered with luxury brand Tote N’ Carry as a brand ambassador for their summer campaign, encouraging Instagram followers to post reels utilizing her newest single “Photo”
