BlameItOnKway, Molly Burke, Sofie Dossi, Katie Angel, Annie LeBlanc, Elle Mills, Jason Nash, Trisha Paytas, Poppy, Andrea Russett, Alyson Stoner, Christine Sydelko and Nick Viall have been added as presenters. Additionally, Olympian Gus Kenworthy will be on hand to present the “Milk-Bone Dog of the Year Honor.”

Jordan joins a long list of legendary artists who have performed their most popular hits at the annual Streamy Awards. Each year, talent from the world of online video and beyond end the Streamy Awards with a fun and nostalgic performance that gets the audience on their feet. Previous artists include last year’s Village People, with the group’s original lead singer Victor Willis back at the helm for the first time since the mid-1980s, as well as Sir Mix-A-Lot, Biz Markie, Vanilla Ice and Starship.

The 8th Annual Streamy Awards will take place at the iconic Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA on Monday, October 22 at 9:00PM ET / 6:00PM PT and will stream live globally at YouTube.com/Streamys.

“I’m honored and excited to be a part of the 2018 Streamys!” said Montell Jordan, “Celebrating with a live performance of “This Is How We Do It” is a great way to bring the 90’s party energy to this event with a classic song we have all loved and shared together for nearly 25 years.”

Montell Jordan is one of the most legendary R&B singers of his time, who over his twenty-year career in music has released seven studio albums, 14 singles, and sold more than 10 million records worldwide. The South Central Los Angeles native is best known for his 1995 platinum-selling classic hit “This Is How We Do It,” which spent seven consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and still resonates in pop culture today. Today Jordan speaks, teaches, mentors, ministers to married couples and continues songwriting and performing.

Streamy Awards nominees and winners are determined by the Streamys Blue Ribbon Panel, a judging body of creators, executives, and other experts in the online video industry. Fan voting for the two Audience Choice categories – Creator of the Year and Show of the Year – is now open. Fans can vote once per day per category by tweeting out a nominee’s specific hashtag. Voting for both categories will close on Friday, October 19th at 8:59:59pm PT.
