This is a concert film from the artist Doug Locke. His previous works have gone viral, and this undoubtedly will as well. The concert features the viral sensations "#ThisCouldBeUs" and "KING"in addition to a cameo appearance from Kaleena Zanders. I will add more annotations and sources to the article.

More Info about the subject:

Locke was inspired to enter the entertainment industry professionally by the work of his sisters, Tembi Locke (actress) and Attica Locke (writer). He began his career in film and television when he portrayed a young Jimi Hendrix in the Silver Lake Film Festival[5] award-winning short, "A Technicolor Dream". In addition to numerous commercials, pilots and shorts, he most recently appeared in episodes of the hit television shows, House M.D. and Bones. He has appeared in international print campaigns for Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Bacardi, Subaru and others. Locke has a cameo roles in the horror film Excess Flesh, and the Hallie Myers-Schyer film Home Again starring Reese Witherspoon.

In 2015 Locke released his debut EP “Blue Heart” featuring #ThisCouldBeUs[6] as the lead single. His musical influences include Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Kravitz, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé and Madonna. His work has been featured in The Huffington Post,[7] Out Magazine,[8] Idolator,[9] GLAAD,[10] Logo’s NewNowNext,[11] Upworthy.com,[12] PopMatters.com,[13] Blurred Culture and many others.

The single “#ThisCouldBeUs” hit no.32 on the iTunes Hot 100 chart (Barbados) and the music video went viral and has more than 850,000 views.[6] The video was embraced for its touching portrayal of unrequited love, and was featured in the 2015 Massimadi film festival in Montréal. The music video for “KING” (the second single from the “Blue Heart” EP) was released on May 4, 2015 to coincide with National Anti-Bullying Day and premiered on Idolator.com.[9]

“Blue Heart” sports a collection of Electric Pop, Funk Rock, and R&B Soul inspired songs tackling themes of love, sex and empowerment written by Locke and Producer Eric McNeely. In addition to playing shows all over Los Angeles (including The Hotel Café[14][15] and Club Moscow), Locke recently headlined Portland Pride.[16] He has appeared on kCal/CBS ‘Morning Show’ in Los Angeles and ‘Great Day Houston[17][18]’, and is currently working on his next EP.

His concert film Locke: Live at Club Moscow premieres in Los Angeles at El Cid on February 22nd, 2016.
