Fresh off of her performance at Rolling Loud Miami, Texas-bred music artist Kaash Paige is breaking records and making history. The “Euphoria” singer became the first female artist in history to invest in an eSports organization when she dropped a bag on Team 33, a Hollywood-based, invitation only eSports team that grew significantly in popularity in the last year.
“I made a significant investment in Team 33 because I have always been passionate about the eSports industry, and I wanted to be the first female recording artist to co-own an eSports team that I can collaborate with and promote my music and concerts through,” said Paige. “I have been keeping a close eye on Team 33 since its inception, and after speaking with the CEO and co-founder Tyler Gallagher for months, we both realized that we had a similar vision for the team and the drive to inspire kids and make a big impact in the world of eSports.”
Launched in November 2020 by Tyler Gallagher, Team 33 has made significant strides, recruiting world-class players and establishing its reputable brand as the 6th top Fortnite team in North America, per Fandom. To date, the organization has earned over $1 million via tournaments.
Every year, the team gathers its team members at their headquarters in Hollywood Hills called House 33 to train for competitions. The luxurious multi-level house comes fully equipped with accommodations for an awe-inspiring experience.
In the past, celebrity guests, such as Travis Scott, Offset, Drake, Janelle Monae, and Jordyn Woods have visited the house to record music or play games. Paige also joins a heavyweight list of Team 33 celebrity ambassadors that include Ty Dolla $ign, 24hrs, 24Kgoldn, and Rob Weiss.
“To be the first in the entire world to have a female recording artist as a part owner of Team 33 is unreal and never been done before,” said Tyler Gallagher, Team 33 CEO. “Kaash Paige has an amazing vision for the organization and we both have similar goals for the team. Our passion for the eSports world is unmatched and together we believe we can turn Team 33 into an iconic eSports organization recognized worldwide.”
A committed gamer herself, Paige is excited to be a part of an eSports crew. Even with a busy career the Teenage Fever artist manages to find time for her video games.
“I have always been fascinated with video games and the eSports industry in general,” Paige added. “The first gaming systems I ever owned was an Atari and PlayStation 2. My favorite games growing up were Pac Man, Tetris, Street Basketball Vol 2, Midnight Club, Def Jam Fight For NYC and Guitar Hero. Today I also play popular titles like Fortnite, Madden 21 and Call of Duty.”
