The Song Breaker Awards show is one the many creator experiences
under Logitech For Creators’ “Together We Create” global campaign,
that shares its vision of collaborating with creators to shape the
future of creating together.
The immersive world is designed from the pixel up as a
creator-centered, fun-first experience for the community to engage
and play with their favorite creators in unexpected ways. The Song
Breaker Awards will be hosted by digital entertainer Bretman Rock.
Icon and multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Lizzo will also be
making her metaverse debut on the Song Breaker Awards stage.
“I’ve had so much fun collaborating with Logitech For Creators
on the show,” said Rock. “I’ll be hosting, so you already know
you’ll be entertained. I’m excited for the community to join us to
celebrate some incredible and talented artists together!”
Lizzo, who previewed her new song “Special” as part of
Logitech’s DEFY LOGIC campaign earlier this year, will be
performing the track on the award show stage.
“I’m excited to be making my metaverse debut with Logitech and
to be performing ‘Special,’ which is a song that means so much to
me,” said Lizzo. “As a musician and creator, I love that Logitech
Song Breaker Awards show recognizes the unique talent of all
creators, and how each of them are making an impact on pop culture
and music.”
Other creators coming together for this year’s celebrations
include the Peachy Princess of Roblox MeganPlays, Twitch streamer
Shroud and musician and activist Jaden Smith. There will also be a
music performance by singer-songwriter GAYLE, best known for her
Billboard no. 1 hit “abcde-forget-u.”
In the pre-show experience on Roblox, fans can ride an epic
rollercoaster, collect Creator Coins, earn badges through gameplay
to unlock special items, take a selfie XL photo with friends, hang
out at the Creator Society Cafe and DEFY LOGIC Lounge, and buy
exclusive merchandise like Pop Key hats, Litra Glow wings and Lizzo
concert t-shirts for your avatar from the Logitech For Creators
virtual store. Proceeds from all digital merchandise sales will
benefit MusiCares®, the leading music charity. Founded by the
Recording Academy in 1989, MusiCares acts as a safety net
supporting the health and welfare of the music community.
For this year’s awards, Logitech and Bretman will be
highlighting 10 creators. These creators appeared on the Billboard
Song Breaker Chart, a monthly music industry chart co-created with
Logitech For Creators, to spotlight trendsetting creators who are
driving music consumption through content creation and positively
disrupting the traditional music business model.
Honorees include “Originators,” creators who started trends,
dances and challenges, and “Amplifiers,” popular creators who are
responsible for amplifying challenges to their audiences and the
community. Honorees include:
- Cost n’ Mayor - “Let’s Groove” by Earth, Wind, & Fire

“This year, we pushed the boundaries as we continue to reimagine
what a creator-focused award show could look like,” said Meridith
Rojas, Global Head of Talent and Entertainment, Logitech. “In
building this immersive program in the metaverse, we’re taking
inspiration from the online communities blazing the path in web
3.0. It’s not a one-way conversation, it is a two-way experience
bringing creators and their communities together to create.”
“We’re always looking for new ways to bring unique, immersive
experiences to our community,” said Jon Vlassopulos, Roblox Vice
President, and Global Head of Music. “Logitech hosting the
