DPA Returns to Grammy Week With an Elevated Music Lounge at the Luxe Sunset
Legendary Carol Connors nominee
As Grammy Week heats up in Los Angeles, Nathalie Dubois once again cements her reputation as one of the most discerning curators in the celebrity gifting space. The DPA Music Lounge returns January 30–31 at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, welcoming Grammy nominees, performers, presenters and industry VIPs for a refined, music-focused retreat ahead of Music’s Biggest Night.
Produced by Dubois Pelin and Associates (DPA), the invite-only lounge blends international luxury with experiential discovery. Hand-selected by Dubois herself, this year’s offerings include high-end travel escapes—such as a coveted stay at Le Taha’a by Pearl Resorts in French Polynesia, just minutes from Bora Bora—as well as a three-night Palm Springs getaway from GarikiMot.

Beauty and wellness take center stage with a strong Japanese presence. Aurélie, the skincare line founded by acclaimed actress Megumi, introduces its soul-forward philosophy, while Cellulam Beauty Systems showcases its exclusive nano/micro-frequency technology with signature treatments. The brand is notably owned by Yuko Sumida Jackson, longtime dancer and collaborator of Michael Jackson.

Fashion-forward guests will find red-carpet-ready moments courtesy of designer Von Vemian’s one-of-a-kind gowns, complemented by Italian-made Vie Lorie handbags. Jewelry highlights include Balacia’s diamond creations and Niara High Jewelry’s bold, color-rich earrings.

Fan-favorite brands also return, including Stingray Spot Remover—featured on Oprah’s Favorite Things—alongside a curated mix of lifestyle, food and beverage partners such as Naked Sundays, Best Day Brewing, Ele Kauai, Medase Cocktails, 28 Wishes Ice Cream and The OP Games. Author Maureen Meehan will also be on hand signing her latest novel, Red Hands.
With a legacy that spans major awards weeks in Los Angeles and international film festivals including Cannes, Venice and Toronto, DPA continues to set the bar for luxury gifting. Founded by Dubois, whose global perspective informs every detail, the company expanded into Asia with a Tokyo office in 2017 and remains a staple of award-season culture.
Past DPA attendees include Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige, Charlize Theron, Viola Davis, Morgan Freeman, Jennifer Hudson, Spike Lee, Pentatonix and Metallica’s Robert Trujillo, among many others.
