The excitement is building as the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks prepare to clash in a battle for the championship title tonight. Before the epic showdown, multiple artists will take the stage to perform, setting the tone for the grand event. Singer Charlie Puth and acclaimed Deaf artist Fred Beam will be delivering the national anthem ahead of Super Bowl LX.
Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET at Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, located in Santa Clara, California. Fans can catch the pregame musical performances shortly before the game on NBC.
Puth has become a household name, known for his chart-topping hits like “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” “See You Again,” “Attention,” “Nothing But Trouble,” and “Marvin Gaye.” This multi-award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer hails from New Jersey, with musical talent running through his family—his mother was a music teacher. Charlie’s roots are in classical music and jazz, and he began his musical journey by learning piano at just 4 years old. By sixth grade, he had recorded and produced his Christmas album, showcasing his entrepreneurial spirit early on.
His rise to fame kicked off on YouTube, where he crafted videos and jingles for other creators. In 2015, he signed with APG/Atlantic Records and released his hit single “Marvin Gaye,” featuring Meghan Trainor, which peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Throughout his career, Puth has collaborated with industry heavyweights like Ozzy Osbourne, Justin Bieber, and Pitbull.
Looking ahead, he recently announced his fourth studio album, Whatever’s Clever!, slated for release in March 2026, and has already unveiled two songs from the project.
Fred Beam brings a wealth of talent to the proceedings. He is an actor, dancer, poet, educator, choreographer, and director, also recognized for his visual art, which has been displayed at several exhibitions, including the Kentucky Deaf Festival and National Black Deaf Advocates. His choreography has made history as he became the first Deaf choreographer to work on a theater production in Washington, D.C. Additionally, he starred in the landmark Deaf play, I Didn’t Hear That Color, and has directed numerous productions, showcasing his multifaceted abilities.
