OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 2025 – Baby Tate and David Archuleta will be among the performers at Oklahoma Pride Alliance’s 5th Annual PrideFest at Scissortail Park running between June 27-29, 2025. VIP tickets are available to secure your exclusive viewing area for performances that will include seating, air-conditioning, and more.
Baby Tate, formerly Yung Baby Tate, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. She released her debut project, ROYGBIV, in 2015. She has since garnered significant attention for the successful viral single "I Am" and the EP After the Rain, among others. Her song "Beckham" was featured in the pilot episode of Euphoria.
Born as Tate Sequoya Farris in Decatur, Georgia to singers Dionne Farris and David Ryan Harris, the artist started dancing and playing piano at an early age and began producing her own music by age 13. She signed a record deal with Warner Records and released her major label debut single, "Pedi", on October 29, 2021.
The pansexual recording artist simplified her stage name to Baby Tate in late 2021. In July 2021, she joined the tenth season of the VH1 reality television series, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. Then, in 2022, Baby Tate toured as an opening act with Charli XCX on the North American leg of Crash: The Live Tour. Her EP Baby Tate Presents: Sexploration the Musical dropped on October 27, 2023.
Singer/songwriter David Archuleta stepped into the pop spotlight at age 17. After years of dazzling audiences with his radiant personality and phenomenal voice, the Miami-born artist experienced a major personal transformation that radically altered his identity as an artist and encouraged him to come out as queer in 2021.
“Growing up in the church, I was taught to stand up for my beliefs and share them with the world, which is exactly what I’m trying to do with my music,” he says. “Even though I stand for something else now, I still have that same level of conviction in what I do. I believe in being bold in my vulnerability and speaking the truth of who I am, so that hopefully people can come away from my songs feeling like they understand themselves, or others, or just life in general a little better than they did before.”
After making his debut with his double-platinum single “Crush,” he released a steady stream of albums and built an adoring following around the world, touring in such far-flung places as Asia and the Middle East. In a truly unexpected and audacious move, Archuleta left the music business in a moment of colossal success and headed to Chile to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for two years, then returned with a profoundly renewed sense of purpose as he dove back into his music career.
Naming such eclectic artists as Tracy Chapman, indie-pop singer/songwriter Maddie Zahm, and Nigerian musician Tems among his current inspirations, Archuleta is continuing to unveil more of his inner life in his songwriting. With his latest worldwide hit single,“Crème Brulée,” David continues to share new sides of himself and has hit a new chord with pop music lovers. His latest triumphs include winning the 2024 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist and as shown in his recent singles “Crème Brulée” and “Hell Together,” Archuleta has dramatically expanded the landscape of his songwriting and devoted himself to making pop music with equal parts uncompromising emotion and exhilarating impact.
