Before Hudson shines in the court’s spotlight by cranking out hits like ‘Spotlight,’ ‘Walk It Out,’ ‘Think Like a Man,’ ‘If This Isn’t Love,’ ‘Where You At,’ and more, Indianapolis native and 13x GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and producer Babyface (born Kenneth Edmonds) will get viewers in their patriotic feels with his unique take on the ‘Star Spangled Banner.’

The latter performance will come just a year after he took to the other biggest sporting event of the year – the NFL’s Super Bowl – to honor the nation with a stirring ‘America the Beautiful’ performance.

Elsewhere, the 73rd NBA All-Star Game will see Juno Award-winning songstress Charlotte Cardin sing the Canadian national anthem.

Ahead of that, GRAMMY-winning R&B singer Coco Jones will sing the U.S. national anthem and Black national anthem, ‘Lift Every Voice,’ alongside Winston Salem State University Red Sea of Sound and Virginia Union University Ambassadors of Sound at the HBCU Classic on Saturday (February 17).
