Don’t miss out! Top 5 Underrated Asian Artists to Check Out
I love supporting the Asian community by listening to different Asian artists and sharing their music with others. Growing up, I was never exposed to modern music made by Asian Americans or Asians around the world as the community I lived in was predominantly white. As Asians artists make their mark on the media through the Shang-Chi soundtrack or even through Tik Tok trends, I personally can’t help but be super excited for them. It is so inspiring to see musicians that we identify with culturally succeed and share their talents with the world.

Korean Music
by Ezra Lee How and why the Korean music scene is so different from America Over the past couple years, the Korean music scene has been gaining major traction internationally.

As K-Pop’s popularity rises, so does the number of admirers and critics. As such, it would be appropriate to be more aware of how the Korean music world functions. Due to cultural differences, the…
