Both musicians are featured on a list of twenty selected celebrities and well-known public figures “who’ve consistently challenged themselves, their industries and their audiences” honored by the publication on Sunday. The celebrity sub-list is part of Adweek’s ranking of “the 100 most creative professionals in America.”

Chance released his third album, Coloring Book, which peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 200 and performed a stirring tribute to the late Muhammad Ali at this year’s ESPY Awards. Today, he announced his first-ever live music event production, the Magnificent Coloring Day Festival, which will take place in Chicago and is schedules to feature fellow artists such as John Legend, 2 Chainz,Skrillex and Alicia Keys.
