Myke Towers Surprises Rockstar Energy Drink Performance Contest Winner

Myke Towers made a dream come true by giving the winner of a competition hosted by Rockstar Energy a surprise visit to a recording studio and, let's just say, she couldn't believe her eyes.

During her appearance at the Miami-based House of Hits recording studio, Gilmarie “GiL” Villanueva, winner of “Rockstar Energy Presents: Mic Check con Myke Towers” was excited to sit down for an interview with Billboard, but the budding star was in store for much more. “[Myke] it's inspired me a lot because I grew up in the barrio too,” he told the cameras, adding:[He] it has a different energy.” Towers, who was on the sidelines of the interview, brought the star to tears when he entered the set and surprised her with a visit.

“I came here to officially congratulate you in person because you are the winner. Come and give me a little hug but don't cry!' she said to a tearful GiL. “You will make me cry”.

“Rockstar Energy Presents: Mic Check con Myke Towers” saw aspiring Latin musicians from the city submit an original song for a chance to be the opening act for the star. After sifting through submissions, GiL was selected by Towers and will receive the star treatment from Rockstar Energy, with ongoing preparation and an artist development fund to aid her journey to the limelight.

During her tenure with the chart-topper, GiL received advice from Towers about the rookie mistake she should avoid in order to shine on the big stage and in her career. “Stay focused and give people what you know they expect. You have a responsibility to give the best version of yourself,” he urged.

What GiL wasn't prepared for, though, was Towers' invitation to hit the recording booth and hone her skills. With the superstar behind the mix, the songstress put her talents to the fore, singing her latest single, 'Tu X', while he cheered her on from outside and gave notes to the song. To top off their experience, the two turned to what brought them together in the first place, sharing a toast with the new Rockstar Focus in hand.
