The event will provide Sidekick users and music fans the opportunity to see one of the industry’s most talented artists in an intimate setting at The Warfield.

The United Kingdom's biggest female pop star, Natasha Bedingfield, has taken the United States by storm with the first British chart-topping hit by a female in almost 20 years. She has sold more than 10 million singles and albums worldwide and has five Top 10 U.K. singles. Her 2006 U.S. debut came with the No. 1 single, "These Words." Later that year, "Unwritten" became the most played song on mainstream American radio and earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 49th Annual GRAMMY Awards Bedingfield’s success continued with "Pocketful of Sunshine" which also became a favorite on radio stations across the country.
World-famous producers/songwriters Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo of the Neptunes, over the course of their decade-long career, have literally changed the course of music. The duo have worked with everyone from Madonna and Justin Timberlake to Jay-Z and Gwen Stefani, and helped create numerous hit songs within the past 10 years. However, the Neptunes are what they do; N.E.R.D. (stands for No One Ever Really Dies) is who they are, the way they live their life and see the world. Combining Pharrell, Chad and longtime friend Shae, the group creates explorations of sounds, emotions and truth, adhering to no agenda and subscribing to no rules. The group is currently promoting their third album, Seeing Sounds.
With its signature swivel screen and full QWERTY keyboard, the T-Mobile Sidekick family of devices are designed for virtually anytime, anywhere communication. With always-on access to e-mail, instant messaging and text messaging, as well as a robust web experience to access sites such as MySpace, Sidekicks provide the luxury of being the center of one’s social circle.
