Last night, Diesel Only The Brave celebrated their newest fragrance launch with an intimate live performance by the face of the scent, Common (who is currently filming “Just Wright” with Queen Latifah in NYC). Michelle Trachtenberg (”Gossip Girl“), Olivia Palermo (”The City“) and model Sessilee Lopez were also in attendance for the event held at Capitale in NYC.

Artist Common

The GRAMMY-winning hip-hop artist’s performance embodied the spirit of determination and perseverance. This private concert for Common’s friends and celebrity fans captured the essence of empowerment, a sense that the performer depicts throughout his work, from his music to his community outreach.
