By Shannah Carol, Home Business Magazine Publicity Editor
The 2015 Grammy Awards dazzled the nation with exhilarating performances, upsets, and surprises (ahem, Kanye's prank on Beck), but even more exciting were all of the red carpet after-parties! Home Business Magazine was invited to attend one of the most talked-about events of Grammys 2015 weekend: Keurig's official after-party celebrating the launch of Keurig 2.0. Taking place at The Continental in downtown L.A., the soiree gave celebrity guests like Baby Daddy actor Tahj Mowry,Veronica Mars star Max Schneider, and Masters of Sex actor Jocko Sims the chance to mingle and honor music's biggest night in ultra-luxe fashion.
Keurig's 2015 Grammys after-party featured an electrifying live performance by 2015 Grammy-nominated musician Bern/hoft, a photo booth, two tantalizing dessert displays filled with scrumptious K-for-Keurig-shaped donuts and cake pops, mouthwatering passed apps (spicy tuna tacos, anyone?!), and intricate Keurig craft cocktails. Not to mention exclusive giveaways of Keurig 2.0 machines!

Home Business Magazine also chatted with some of the big name guests while on the red carpet, including actor Max Schneider. He was happy to discuss his 2015 Grammys weekend experience.
"It's been amazing and awesome!" he said. "I've been going to a lot of parties and dancing a lot." [laughs]
And did the talented actor have any favorite songs of the year?
"I love Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith's 'Stay With Me,' and all of Pharrell's album," Max shared. "I got to do a couple of songs with him for my album coming up, so to see him win is such a cool thing. He deserves it!"
He also shared his top advice for people thinking of getting into the acting industry.
"It's all about not being held back by rejection," he revealed. "You get rejected a hundred times before you get one job, and I think that if you can't handle that, then acting might not be for you. You have to believe in yourself and know that the one job you get as an actor is the one that no one should have gotten but you. You just have to keep going with it."

| Masters of Sex Actor Jocko Sims Catches Up With Home Business Magazine |
Masters of Sex actor Jocko Sims also stopped by on the red carpet to discuss his personal top favorite songs of the year.
"One of my favorite songs of the year is 'C’Mon Talk' by Bern/hoft, who is performing at the party tonight," Jocko said. "He was nominated tonight and didn't win…it was a travesty!"
He also discussed what it was like to work on Masters of Sex.
"The greatest part was working with Caitlin Fitzgerald, who plays Libby the housewife. She has such incredible talent and is amazing to work with. She takes her craft very seriously."
And what else is he currently working on?
"I am currently working on season two of The Last Ship on TNT, which is produced by Michael Bay," the actor said. "It's a great show."
Actress Cassie Scerbo also stopped by on the red carpet to tell Home Business Magazine about her 2015 Grammys weekend.
"It's been really fun!" she shared. "We got to see Charlie XCX and Lil Kim, which was pretty epic and exciting. We were also at Smashbox Studios on Thursday and now we are here at the Keurig Grammy after-party!"
The Make It Or Break It star also revealed her favorite artist of the year.
"Sam Smith! I love him and was actually listening to him as I got ready for tonight. I am rooting for him and think he is amazing. I'm in love with his voice." [laughs]
She went on to chat about what it was like to be on Make It Or Break It.
"It was one of the first things I had done," she said. "When you are on a show, everyone becomes like one big family to you. It's so exciting because you grow throughout the years, you go through things with these people, and they watch you grow up. And then there are different things going on with your characters, so you're growing and your characters are growing, and you all become so close. You are all in it together, hoping for good ratings all the time and crossing your fingers for another season. Luckily, we had five half-seasons, as that is how ABC Family does it, so we got really lucky and had so much fun. The girls really became my sisters, so it was a really amazing experience. To this day we are all super close."
And did the TV star have any acting tips to share?
"It's silly, but I feel like if it's not your 100% everything, I don't know if I would dive into it," Cassie said. "I guess that is with anything in life. It's so competitive and you're going to experience a lot of rejection, so you have to have thick skin. You also can't really have a back-up plan…it's an all-or-nothing thing. It starts with passion then you have to get an agent, take classes, and continually do that. Throughout my whole career, I still take classes to this day. It's all about perfecting your craft."

On the red carpet, Filharmonic member Jules Cruz also shared his personal favorite song of the year.
"Definitely 'All About That Bass'! Not that I dance to it alone in my room or anything, but it's amazing," Jules said.
And what else were the Pitch Perfect 2 stars working on?
"We have a lot of covers coming out, such as one on Tuesday for 'Uptown Funk.' We are also working on an album right now and prepping for Pitch Perfect 2, which is coming out soon," he shared.
