Variety Hitmakers Brunch 2023
Variety’s 7th Annual Hitmakers Brunch brought together some of the music industry’s most influential artists, producers, and creators to celebrate the year’s biggest hits at NYA Studios West in Hollywood. The star-studded event honored talent such as SZA (Hitmaker of the Year), Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and more. Hosted in a newly launched space, the brunch combined powerful tributes, memorable moments—like Ryan Gosling’s heartfelt and humorous presentation to Mark Ronson—and a sophisticated design aesthetic.
Stoelt Productions played a key role in creating a visually striking experience for the event, designing and fabricating the stage centerpiece. Drawing inspiration from a liquid-metal theme, the stage featured a gloss-black surface, beveled mirror frame, brushed steel face, and integrated LED elements that elevated the overall atmosphere. The meticulous execution and bold design served as the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable day celebrating music’s top creators.
