As the presenter of the most important R&B show in the U.K and and one of the main driving forces of the resurgence of the genre, Ace has curated the annual Everything RnB tour, where he hand selects the cremé de la cremé of under the radar talent, and takes them on a U.K wide tour, developing their artistry while giving them a taste of tour life.
For the second year in a row, Ace also flew five of the most prominent names in the U.K RnB scene to Austin Texas for his Everything RnB showcase at SXSW festival.
