Guests were then escorted up to the private dining room on the 25th floor where a gourmet three-course dinner was served. As a true Brilliant Minds dinner, the evening contained personalized gifting from a Swedish brand and a live performance from a rising young artist. Guests enjoyed powerful and raw vocals from Audrey Nuna who writes songs without filter, sings with raw confidence, spits bars with no apologies and as a true artistic soul serves as the co-creative director for the entire aesthetic.
