Although less frequently requested, the following might be considered, also.
- A non-performance personal appearance.
An example would be to hire a celebrity to attend a private or corporate party as simply a (non-performing) guest to mingle with other guests, or to hire the celebrity to do a meet-and-greet at your party.
- A virtual performance.
A virtual performance is a live or recorded show—such as a concert, play, dance, comedy act, or other artistic presentation—that is broadcast or streamed online instead of being performed in front of a physical audience. Artists perform live from a studio, venue, or even their homes and stream the show on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, or Instagram Live. Essentially, a virtual performance brings entertainment to audiences through the internet rather than in-person venues.

GRAMMY award-winning Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, professionally known as Kendrick Lamar, was born in Compton, California, on June 17, 1987.
After writing stories as a child, he put to music some lyrics about the rough Compton streets he grew up on. He rapped under the name K-Dot, releasing a series of increasingly popular mix tapes, which brought him to the attention of hip-hop super-producer Dr. Dre.

Kendrick Lamar‘s debut major-label recording, good kid, m.A.A.d City, was released to great acclaim and impressive sales for an up-and-coming recording artist.
He continued to receive accolades for his 2015 album, To Pimp a Butterfly, and his 2017 follow-up, DAMN; both won Grammys for Best Rap Album, while DAMN also made history as the first of its genre to earn a Pulitzer Prize.
Kendrick Lamar has stated that Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Nas, and Eminem are his top five favorite rappers. Tupac Shakur is his biggest influence and has influenced his music as well as his day-to-day lifestyle. In a 2011 interview with Rolling Stone, Lamar mentioned Mos Def and Snoop Dogg as rappers that he listened to and took influence from during his early years.

He also cites now late rapper DMX as an influence: “[DMX] really got me started on music,” explained Lamar in an interview with Philadelphia’s Power 99. “That first album [It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot] is classic, so he had an influence on me.” He has also stated Eazy-E as an influence in a post by Complex, saying: “I Wouldn’t Be Here Today, If It Wasn’t for Eazy-E.”
In a September 2012 interview, Kendrick Lamar stated rapper Eminem “influenced a lot of my style” and has since credited Eminem for his own aggression, on records such as “Backseat Freestyle”.

Lamar also gave Lil Wayne‘s work in Hot Boys credit for influencing his style and praised his longevity.
He has said that he also grew up listening to Rakim, Dr. Dre, and Tha Dogg Pound. In January 2013, when asked to name three rappers that have played a role in his style, Lamar said: “It’s probably more of a west coast influence. A little bit of Kurupt, [Tupac], with some of the content of Ice Cube.”
In a November 2013 interview with GQ, when asked “The Four MC’s That Made Kendrick Lamar?”, he answered Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Mobb Deep, namely Prodigy.
Kendrick Lamar professed to having been influenced by jazz trumpeter Miles Davis and Parliament-Funkadelic during the recording of To Pimp a Butterfly.
Lamar has also been cited as a strong influence on the works of various modern artists, including BTS, Dua Lipa, Tyler, the Creator, Roddy Ricch, and Rosalía.
