A VIP Experience Fans Could Take Home

Toronto-born singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Francesco Yates has built an international career that began remarkably early. Signed to a major label at just 16, his self-titled debut EP was produced with Pharrell Williams and Robin Hannibal.

Francesco went on to become the unmistakable voice featured on Robin Schulz’s global hit “Sugar,” a song that has surpassed a billion streams. His career has also included being selected to tour with Justin Timberlake and later joining the Backstreet Boys on their DNA World Tour. Today, he is embracing a new chapter as an independent artist, taking greater control over his music, creativity, and relationship with his fans.

That direct connection with fans made TapTunes® a natural fit for his VIP experience in Los Angeles on April 13, 2026.

VIP guests received an exclusive, personally signed TapTunes® Instant Music Card featuring Francesco’s music. Rather than another piece of event merchandise, the card became part of the experience itself, connecting the artist, the music, and the moment in something fans could physically take home.

For an artist whose career has reached listeners around the world, the experience created something intentionally personal. Fans left with a collectible Francesco had personally signed and a direct way to return to his music long after the event was over.

An international artist. An intimate VIP experience. A signed piece of the moment.

The event ends. The experience doesn’t.

TapTunes® turns music into a physical, collectible experience fans can hold, enjoy, and return to long after the moment ends.
