D-Nice and DJ Hed will spin tracks while surprise celebrity guests make appearances, all in the spirit of bringing the people of L.A. together. The livestream will also feature heartfelt stories of hope and updates on essential relief resources.

The event is organized in collaboration with the Annenberg Foundation, will.i.am’s i.am Angel Foundation, and actor-philanthropist Etienne Maurice. will.i.am expressed the urgency of the moment, stating, “Families and students across the city urgently need our support as many lives have been disrupted, including losing everything in the fires.” This event will help direct viewers to donation opportunities and volunteer efforts.

L.A. Check In: A Vital Connection for the Community

The livestream event, airing on Thursday, January 16, at 6 p.m. PT, will be available on will.i.am’s YouTube channel and D-Nice’s Instagram page. The initiative serves not only as an exciting virtual concert but as a community connector during a time of crisis. D-Nice shared, “Club Quarantine was a way for people to find community all over the world through love of music and culture. L.A. Check In will leverage Los Angeles’ star power while reminding one another of the resilience we build and have in each other.”

As wildfires have claimed at least 25 lives and displaced tens of thousands, L.A. Check In is more than just a show. It’s an opportunity for the community to unite, show support, and provide resources for those affected. DJ Hed emphasized, “When disaster strikes, it reminds us that despite our differences, we’re all in this together.”

Rising to the Challenge: Support from the L.A. Community

The wildfires, which have been raging in Los Angeles for over a week, have already caused significant destruction, burning down homes, schools, and businesses. Snoop Dogg and The Game are also lending their support to those on the frontlines, with Snoop sharing his efforts to coordinate relief efforts. Meanwhile, The Game has been on the ground, providing aid directly to firefighters battling the blaze.

With 180,000 people forced to evacuate, the need for aid has never been greater. The L.A. Check In livestream aims to raise both funds and awareness, offering a beacon of light for those in need. The event will serve as a reminder that through community solidarity, we can help rebuild and support those who have lost so much.
