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.

Hire Patti Labelle
aka Miss Patti
GRAMMY award-winning Patricia Louise Holt, best known as Patti LaBelle, is an American singer and actress.
She began her career in the early 1960s as lead singer and frontwoman of the vocal group, Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles. Following the group’s name change to Labelle in the 1970s, they released the popular song, “Lady Marmalade”, which was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. As a result, the group became the first African-American vocal group to land the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and the first pop group to play at the Metropolitan Opera House.
Patti LaBelle is referred to as the “Godmother of Soul”.
Her amazing multi-decade recording legacy is rife with #1 R&B and Pop smashes, heartfelt and memorable love songs, and a tremendous amount of crowd-pleasing public appearances.

Patti LaBelle’s star, which first rose in the 1960s, shines ever brighter in the 1990s. The 1993 album, “Patti LaBelle LIVE!” yielded a 1994 Grammy nomination (her eighth) for the single “All Right Now.”
The 1994 excitement came on the heels of a triumphant 1993. Patti won an American Music Award for Favorite R&B Female Artist, which now stands alongside her Grammy Award for her hit album, “Burnin‘.” Her “Still Patti” concert tour was a smash across the U.S. and Canada.
She joined Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin, and a host of other luminaries in a 40th birthday salute to Oprah Winfrey and brought down the house in a televised Christmas concert performed for President and Mrs. Clinton in Washington.
Patti’s busy year continued with fellow superstars Elton John, Michael Bolton and Paula Abdul on the Disney Channel’s special televised concert, “For the Children,” benefiting the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, duet recordings with Ronnie Milsap and Michael Crawford, and a reunion with her “Sisters in the Name of Love” co-stars Gladys Knight and Dionne Warwick to record “Superwoman” for Knight’s ’93 album – a collaboration that snared Grammy nominations for the three powerhouse vocalists.

The honor Patti holds most dear to her heart is her inclusion on the fabled Hollywood Boulevard “Walk of Fame.” In March 1993, in front of thousands of fans, actress Whoopi Goldberg and “Mayor of Hollywood” Johnny Grant hosted the ceremony, during which her gold star rightfully took its place alongside the entertainment world’s other legendary greats.
In the 1960s, she led the superstar “girl group” Patti LaBelle and the Bluebells; in the ’70s, she was the driving force of rock’s first all-female band, LaBelle, and in the ’80s, her talent as a solo artist dominated the music scene.
Patti LaBelle has had numerous hits, from “Down the Aisle” and “Danny Boy” with the Bluebells, to “Lady Marmalade” and “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” with LaBelle, to her solo triumphs, “New Attitude,” “Stir It Up,” “On My Own” and “Somebody Loves You Baby.”

Patti was raised in the melting pot of Southwest Philly. Although affected by her parents’ separation when she was only 12, Patti lived a happy, wholesome teenage life – running track, singing in the glee club, and acting in plays at John Bartram High School. Her extraordinary musical gift emerged most clearly in the Beulah Baptist Church Choir, where she remained a soloist even after embarking on a professional career.
Patti was still only a teenager when she and Cindy Birdsong (later a member of The Supremes) sang with the Ordettes. When two girls left the group, Nona Hendrix and Sarah Dash signed on, and Patti LaBelle and the Bluebells were born. This was in 1961.
By the following year, the girls had their first multimillion-selling single, “I Sold My Heart to the Junkman.” With other hits, including “All or Nothing” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” the Bluebells accrued a devoted following and a status as one of the foremost girl groups of the era.
Then, in the late ’60s, when British rock was eclipsing the homegrown girl-group, California, and Motown sounds in the U.S., the Bluebells toured England, playing to wildly enthusiastic audiences. When British producer Vicki Wickham, impressed by the Bluebells’ still-untapped talents, offered to effect a stylistic transformation, the group consented. The result was LaBelle, a trio of massive musical power and political sensibility that was consistently ahead of its time.
Superstardom anointed her with two hits from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack: “New Attitude” and “Stir It Up.”
Those hits were followed by her 1985 debut album for MCA Records, “Winner in You,” which went platinum thanks to sizzlers like “On My Own” (with Michael McDonald), “Oh, People,” “Kiss Away the Pain” and “Something Special.”
In the late ’80s and early ’90s, a triumphant Patti continued to release chart-topping albums, including “Be Yourself“ and “This Christmas.”
As a musical artist, Patti LaBelle remains unrivaled and unstoppable.
