Held at Zanadu Studios in Auburn, the event showcased the range of talent in the Pacific Northwest while giving creatives a space to connect and collaborate.

Legendary AF brought together artists from all corners of the region, spanning different genres and styles. From rappers and singers to DJs and producers, the event gave attendees a chance to build relationships, exchange ideas, and strengthen the local music scene. As artist Jay Nashell put it, "There's so much PNW star power in one room under one roof...it just feels like greatness."

A major takeaway from the event was the push for unity within the region’s music community. Jay Nashell spoke on the need to bridge gaps between different parts of the PNW, while rapper and business owner LROC emphasized the importance of carving out a distinct identity for Northwest music. Legendary AF created a space for artists to collaborate and support each other, reinforcing the idea that the scene is stronger together.
