Event Overview:

Chukundi Salisbury, Tunde Salisbury, Jeff Staton, and Mike Oakley founded the Annual Virgo celebration in 1991. In 1998 La'Keith Asphy joined the event.  It began as a birthday party for the four principals, but has since grown to encompass much more.

Now entering our 11th Year, we have secured our place as Seattle's major R&B/Hip Hop event and a leader in promotions and event coordination. Over the years 10,000+ people have attended the event making it Seattle's Largest Annual R&B/Hip Hop event (that is not affiliated with or directly produced by a corporation or radio station). The event has sold out consistently for the past 9 years. The 1998 Virgo Party was held at the Union Station in downtown Seattle and it was filled to capacity (1000+). While many have tried to emulate the success of the Virgo, none have maintained the ANNUAL CONSISTENCY that it takes to amass a following such as ours.

The party itself is a virtual who's who of the Seattle scene and is always the hottest ticket in town. The event will feature a National Recording Artist as well as the Best in local R&B talent. Over the years Seattle's & Portland's hottest DJ's have pleased the crowd, including DJ KUN LUV, Funkdaddy, B-Mello, LOVESICK LARRY, DJ Supreme, Mista Rocaphella, Jimmy Jam, and Kutfather. Local and national VIP's have also made the VIRGO the place to be, including Gary Payton (Seattle Sonics), Shawn Springs (Seattle Seahawks), Karl Kani (Clothing Designer), Chris Warren (Dallas Cowboys) to name a few.  In 2001 Seaspot.com Founder, Chukundi Salisbury, launched Seaspot Magazine, to celebrate, it made sense to combine the launch party and the Virgo.  Now one year later, we are also celebrating the unparalleled success of the magazine as well as the Virgo.
