Dedicated to providing memorable consumer experiences and unmatched products, SAMSUNG is bringing some of the best music acts to college campuses around the country and giving students the opportunity to learn from and interact with their favorite musicians directly.

Samsung and singer-songwriter, HALSEY transformed a college lecture hall at the University of Southern California – USC, into an immersive music lab where students learned firsthand what and who inspires the country’s newest and buzziest popstar.

The Samsung LEVEL line of audio products combines industry-leading technology and design to give consumers a premium audio experience. Not in these university cities? Fans won’t miss out. After each stop, Samsung will post content from the artist’s experience on Samsung’s YouTube channel and Samsung+.

After New York, Nicole moved to London for school and there she stood in line for hours on Oxford Street to hear Paul McCartney play an impromptu concert on a rooftop. Another notable experience while living in London was her first time ever calling into a radio station, she won an invite to a record release party with the Beastie Boys for their album 'Ill Communication'. "I love London as it has such a vibrant and diverse music scene and I couldn't help but go out every night to check out gig after gig. It was a wonderful time." Living near the notable Sherpards Bush Empire music venue one of her most favorite concerts to date was seeing Bjork. Nicole has also worked for Walt Disney World in Product Development and later went on to work at Disney's Feature Animation Archives in Florida. Nicole has a passion for travel and adventure and has always wanted to live in California so she packed up and moved four years ago to the "left coast" and has been loving it ever since.
