Red Bull Debuts Film on Red Bull Symphonic with Metro Boomin
On October 26, 2023, Red Bull and Hip Hop producer Metro Boomin made history in Los Angeles with Red Bull Symphonic, a one-night concert event where the producer’s biggest hits were reimagined by a full symphony orchestra. Red Bull now invites audiences to explore the making of this landmark moment in music with an exclusive documentary.
Held at the Dolby Theater on Hollywood Boulevard, the sold-out Red Bull Symphonic delivered a unique celebration of music and community through a fusion of Hip Hop and classical music.
The documentary takes viewers behind the scenes with Maestro Anthony Parnther (known for Encanto, Star Wars: The Mandalorian, Creed II, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Music Director Laura Escudé, members of the Symphonic Orchestra, and Metro Boomin himself. It showcases the creative collaborations, innovation, and passion that made this extraordinary event possible.
Relive the magic of Red Bull Symphonic with Metro Boomin in its entirety on Metro Boomin’s YouTube channel. Performances of “Am I Dreaming,” “Calling,” “On Time,” “Skyfall,” and “Bad & Boujee” are available on Red Bull 1520.

ABOUT METRO BOOMIN
Since 2013, GRAMMY® Award-nominated diamond-certified producer, DJ, and artist Metro Boomin has defined not only the sound, but the direction of hip-hop. Tallying tens of billions of streams, he impressively endures as the “Highest-Streaming Producer” in music. With dozens of smashes to his name including 52 Billboard Hot 100 hits as a lead artist, his unmatched, unprecedented, and undeniable discography encompasses the quintuple-platinum “Jumpman” by Drake and Future, quadruple-platinum “Bad and Boujee” [feat. Lil Uzi Vert] by Migos, 14x Platinum “Congratulations” [feat. Quavo] by Post Malone, 9x Platinum “Mask Off” by Future, and many more. He has notched three #1 debuts on the Billboard 200 with the platinum full-length solo debut LP Not All Heroes Wear Capes [2018], gold-certified Savage Mode II with 21 Savage, and his platinum sophomore album HEROES & VILLAINS [2022] hailed by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Clash, Slant and more. In the wake of the latter, he notably scored 2024 GRAMMY® Award nods for “Producer of the Year” and “Best Rap Album.” He also architected the official soundtrack for Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. The album—Metro Boomin Presents Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse—became his “6th Top 10 debut on the Billboard 200.” In 2023, It’s no wonder Variety crowned him its ‘”Producer of the Year,” Time touted him on the “Time100Next,” and he took home BET Hip Hop Awards for “Best DJ of the Year” and “Best Producer of the Year.” He made history by joining forces with Future and delivering back-to-back #1 albums on the Billboard 200 with We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You. This success enshrined the duo as the “First Collaborators in Billboard 200 Chart History to Hit #1 with Two Joint Projects,” while “Like That” [with Kendrick Lamar] popped off as “The First Hip-Hop Song Since 2018 to Clinch #1 on the Hot 100 for Three Consecutive Weeks.” However, Metro never stops, and 2024 will be no exception.
