The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) featured a surprise appearance by hip-hop sensation Silentó at its Fall 2015 Orientation, held at the Savannah Civic Center.
The 17-year-old Atlantan and Capitol Records recording artist closed out the welcome session by performing his viral hit to nearly 4,000 SCAD guests.
More than 200 million viewers have watched the official video on YouTube since it was posted on June 25.
In tandem with the live performance, SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace announced a new university initiative entitled #WatchMeSCAD, inviting SCAD’s incoming students to post a video on social media explaining why their accomplishments should be “watched” throughout the 2015-16 academic year.
Select incoming students will be documented at various upcoming SCAD events, and videos of their journeys and achievements will be shared through SCAD’s social media channels.
