Pop superstar launches state-of-the-art radio studios

International pop star Bebe Rexha has played an exclusive gig in Geelong to mark the launch of Geelong Broadcasters' new hi-tech studios.
The American singer-songwriter took to the stations' Live Stage on Wednesday night in front of hundreds of guests including business leaders, politicians and other VIPs.
A handful of listeners, who became possibly Australia's luckiest teenagers after winning an on-air competition to see Rexha perform, seized on the opportunity to grab selfies during a once-in-a-lifetime meet-and-greet with the star.
Rexha's set included some of her biggest hits including Meant To Be and Me Myself and I.

Other performers at the star-studded launch party included Nathaniel Willemse, whose set included his smash Live Louder, along with Geelong father and son duo Cam and Taylor Henderson.

Guitarist Justin Derrico, who has played with the Pussycat Dolls, Tina Turner, Beyonce and Pink also treated the crowd to a display of his virtuoso skills.

Geelong mayor Bruce Harwood officially opened the studios, presenting a plaque to Janet and Alison Cameron, directors of Geelong Broadcasters' family-owned parent company Grant Broadcasters.

With the brief formalities sorted the crowd of up to 300 gave a rousing welcome to Bebe Rexha for her exclusive performance, one of her only public shows during her Australian promotional visit.

The new studios are located on the first floor of Geelong Broadcasters' Moorabool Street building and feature state-of-the-art digital broadcasting equipment and a high tech news facility.

It also brings under the one roof the company's booming digital media arm, payroll operations and region's leading tourist guide, What's On In Geelong.
