Independent artists need a stage, a crowd and a camera, and Dear Artist TV (@dearartist.tv) put all three under one roof. Its Artist HOUSE showcase turned a studio space into a full day of performances, DJ sets, vendors and interviews. Shorty Roc (@shortyrocnyc) and @thekhaliseum were in the building as part of the media lineup.

Dear Artist TV posted its recap on July 19, 2026, thanking everyone who made the event "epic". It saluted the media platforms and vendors for setting the tone, gave the DJs a big shout out and asked fans whether it should run the event back.

Performers, DJs and Vendors

The recap moves fast: duos posing for phone content at a ring light, a DJ working the decks, performers moving from a blue stage wall to a disco-ball set, and a vendor table run by @your_favorite_faiiiry. Accounts tagged in the clips include @lexccalderon, @darealistashley, @vanni.tvriq, @malenatheonly, @kinggrizzygreg and @aao_bossalini.

The Khaliseum at the Table

The Khaliseum set up a media table with its signature orange mic, and Artist House guests sat down for quick interviews between sets. One clip in the recap is tagged @shortyrocnyc and @thekhaliseum. The full coverage is on The Khaliseum's YouTube channel as We Run The City TV goes to the Dear Artists House hosted by Travis Matthews.

Why It Matters

Showcases like Artist House are where new artists get their first real look, and the media in the room decide whether anyone outside sees it. Shorty Roc and the Khaliseum staff showed up, kept the mic open for up-and-coming talent and gave the performers footage that lasts longer than one afternoon. Thanks to Dear Artist TV for the invite, and salute to the Khaliseum crew for backing independent artists.
