Billboard x Amazon:
Billboard and Amazon announced that they have teamed up with comedian/musical improviser, Reggie Watts to present “MuSick: Live from Reggie Watts’ Couch,” a special activation and event with Amazon Pharmacy and Amazon One Medical during weekend one of Coachella.
The activation is based on a simple premise: Amazon is making healthcare less painful. When Watts wakes up on festival day feeling awful, he turns to Amazon One Medical and Amazon Pharmacy to chat with his care team and get his meds delivered even while he’s traveling. Feeling inspired by this stress-free turn of events, he wonders what else might be possible. Reggie will roll out - literally - taking his motorized couch on a spin around Palm Springs and blasting his one-of-a-kind “MuSick” for all to hear. He will eventually pull up at the Ace Hotel where festival-goers will get to have their own wellness-inspired experience with Reggie’s “sick” beats serving as their soundtrack.
