The Streamy Awards are only a week away on September 17, 2015, and final details about performers, presenters, and audience choice awards are starting to fall into place. The 5th annual online video awards show, presented by Tubefilter and dick clark productions, will feature musical performances from hip-hop master Sir Mix-A-Lot and actress-singer Hailee Steinfeld.
Hailing from Seattle, Sir Mix-A-Lot is a self-made hip-hop sensation, most widely known for his popular song “Baby Got Back” from 1992. Sir Mix-A-Lot is a platinum-selling artist with both Grammy and American Music Awards to his name. In addition to Sir Mix-A-Lot’s performance, Steinfeld will also entertain the Streamy Awards audience and viewers. Steinfeld, who starred in films such as Ender’s Game and Pitch Perfect 2, released her debut single “Love Myself” in the summer of 2015 and is currently working on her debut album.
