Check out this great article on the NY Times website highlighting and focusing on Asian American musicians, most prominently Legaci as they continue their back up duties for Justin Bieber. They mention a lot of great talent, including Charice, David Choi, AJ Rafael, Kina Grannis, Gabe Bondoc, Cathy Nguyen, JR Aquino, Dawen, Jennifer Chung, and more. Just in case the link dies at some point, I’ve copied and pasted it after the break. It’s awesome to see the growing exposure for these immensely talented people.

New York must be a special place because I don’t have any live musicians at any of my local Best Buys. But nevertheless Alfa Garcia had the opportunity to play there a couple days back and here’s some footage from the event. She was backed by a full band and sang “Meaningless Conversation” and “Second Skin”. I think its kinda hilarious that the dude who looks like might be her merch staff is just standing on the side chilling awkwardly.

J Reyez x JD Relic x 3rd Degree Cover Big Bang’s “Tell Me Goodbye”

J Reyez seems to enjoy creating english covers of KPOP songs, and this time he’s joined by JD Relic and 3rd Degree as they put their english spin on the Big Bang single “Tell Me Goodbye”. It’s good but with a few tweaks I think they could have done a lot more with this beat instead of just a cover/remix. Even still, the singers don’t miss a note, J’s flow never slipped, and in general a decent track. You can DL it for free here or here.

3rd Degree and JD Relic got at me to put together an English cover version for Tell Me Goodbye so hope you guys like it! By the way, I avoided copying TOP’s flow on my verse and decided to just do my thing.
