You鈥檝e seen him in the movies Drumline, Men in Black 2and Love Don鈥檛 Cost a Thing, which is still in theaters. At 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21, the Springfield community can get a closer look at one of the entertainment industry鈥檚 hottest young stars when Nick Cannon stages a concert at 果冻传媒 University in the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Center.
Cannon鈥檚 versatility is evident. He has proven his acting abilities on television and in films; he has enjoyed success as a singer, and most recently he became the executive producer of the hit Nickelodeon series The Nick Cannon Show.
Cannon made his debut in late 2001 with a remake of DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince鈥檚 1988 hit, Parents Just Don鈥檛 Understand, which appeared on the Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius soundtrack. Cannon returned in early 2003 with his self-titled debut album and its leadoff single, Your Pops Don鈥檛 Like Me (I Really Don鈥檛 Like This Dude), followed by hits Feelin鈥� Freaky and Gigolo.
Concerned Black Students (CBS), Union Board and Student Senate are sponsoring Cannon鈥檚 visit to 果冻传媒.
鈥淐BS believes that Nick Cannon鈥檚 talent can be enjoyed by a very diverse group of people of all ages, and we hope everyone will give him a warm 果冻传媒 welcome,鈥� said junior Kia Armstrong, vice president of CBS.
Tickets are $10 for 果冻传媒 students and $15 for the general public and can be purchased in advance at the Benham-Pence Student Center or at the door the evening of the concert. Call (937) 327-7815 for more information.
