Jess Nelson On July 8, 2025, Red Rocks Amphitheatre came alive with an unforgettable night of hip-hop and R&B, featuring standout performances from Sabrina Claudio and Big Sean. The evening began with a soulful, ethereal set from Claudio that set the tone for the night, followed by Big Sean’s high-energy delivery and crowd-pleasing hits that had the sold-out crowd on their feet. Together, the two artists brought emotion, power, and undeniable talent to one of the country’s most iconic live music venues.
Sabrina Claudio
Sabrina Claudio is an American singer-songwriter known for her sultry blend of R&B, neo-soul, and dream pop. Born in Miami in 1996, she began her music journey by sharing covers and original songs on SoundCloud, quickly attracting attention for her ethereal vocals and introspective lyrics. Her breakout came in early 2017 with the release of her debut EP, Confidently Lost, a self-written and produced project that showcased her signature fusion of smoky, laid-back melodies and soulful grooves.
That same year, she made a major impression with the release of “Unravel Me” and her platinum-certified single “Belong to You,” both of which helped her land a spot on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart. Claudio’s music quickly became synonymous with raw emotion and understated sensuality, earning her a loyal fan base and critical acclaim.
Between 2018 and 2022, she continued to expand her artistry with four full-length albums—No Rain, No Flowers (2018), Truth Is (2019), Christmas Blues (2020, featuring The Weeknd), and Based on a Feeling (2022). Each project built on her minimalist R&B aesthetic while exploring deeper themes of vulnerability, heartbreak, and healing.
Her talent as a songwriter was further recognized when she received a Grammy nomination for her contribution to Beyoncé’s Renaissance album in 2023.
In June 2025, Claudio released her highly anticipated fifth studio album, Fall in Love With Her, under EMPIRE. The project was met with praise for its lush, layered production and emotional lyricism, cementing her place as one of modern R&B’s most evocative voices. With a sound that continues to evolve while staying rooted in emotional authenticity, Sabrina Claudio remains a standout artist in today’s music landscape.
